Distillation

Turn source material into a useful skill. The output is not a summary dump: it is an operational skill that captures the best practices, decision rules, workflows, checks, and examples from the material.

Step 0: Load Config and Skill Context

FIRST: Read .ai-factory/config.yaml if it exists to resolve:

• language.ui for prompts, questions, progress updates, and final summaries
• language.artifacts for generated skill package content (SKILL.md, references/, examples/)
• language.technical_terms for translated artifacts; default to keep when absent

If config.yaml doesn't exist, use defaults:

• language.ui: en
• language.artifacts: same as language.ui
• language.technical_terms: keep

Read .ai-factory/skill-context/aif-distillation/SKILL.md - MANDATORY if the file exists.

Treat skill-context rules as project-level overrides for this skill. They apply to all generated skill files, references, examples, source-map policy, and final reports.
