/prose:distill
Distill verbose text to its concentrated essence — the art of compression without loss.
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use something else when... |
|---|---|
| Text is wordy and needs tightening | You need to change tone or register (use prose-tone) |
| Redundant phrases need removing | You need to restructure document flow (use prose-structure) |
| User says "condense", "tighten", "shorten" | You need to adapt for a specific audience (use prose-audience) |
| Preserving all meaning while reducing length | Summarizing (lossy) rather than distilling (lossless) |
Core Principles
Distillation is lossless compression of natural language. Every sentence in the output must preserve the information content of the input. The goal is approaching the Shannon limit of the message — boiling off redundancy to leave concentrated meaning.
