Distill
Overview
All subagent dispatches use disk-mediated dispatch. See shared/dispatch-convention.md for the full protocol.
Convert heavy document formats to token-efficient representations (Markdown, CSV) for LLM consumption. The core deliverable is the .digest.md — a structurally-aware compression at 20-30% of token count.
Skill type: Rigid — follow exactly, no shortcuts.
Models:
- PDF structuring agent: Sonnet
- Digest agent: Sonnet
- Orchestrator: runs on whatever model the session uses
Announce at start: "I'm using the distill skill to convert documents to token-efficient formats."
Invocation API

test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
8adversarial-tester
Use after completing implementation to find unknown failure modes. Reads implementation diff and writes up to 5 tests designed to make it break. Triggers on 'break it', 'adversarial test', 'stress test implementation', 'find weaknesses', or any task seeking to expose unknown failure modes.
5quality-gate
Iterative red-teaming of any artifact (design docs, plans, code, hypotheses, mockups). Loops until clean or stagnation. Invoked by artifact-producing skills or their parent orchestrator.
5code-review
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
5finish
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
4verify
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
