SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Distill provides a fast and reliable way to capture session learnings and translate them into concrete, reusable artifacts (rules, references, or skill prompts) so teams can close gaps immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

Distill session learnings into actionable changes for momentum artifacts.
Classify the change target (rules, references, or skill prompts) and route updates accordingly.
Works across Momentum projects and supports direct invocation or retro-driven updates for sprint improvements.
Use Case: After a design review, distill the key learning into a new or updated rule or reference to prevent regressions.

Quick Start

Invoke /momentum:distill after a session to distill the learning into the appropriate artifact.

FAQPage Schema

How do I capture session learnings and apply them to project rules?▼

Distill consolidates session learnings by applying them to the correct practice artifact, such as a project rule, reference, or skill prompt, so teams can immediately close gaps. It routes updates based on where the target artifact resides.

What is the best way to translate design review findings into reusable references?▼

You can distill key learnings from a design review into new or updated rules and references to prevent regressions. This workflow requires a discovery pass, audience classification, and a single-file write to capture the artifact.

Can I update skill prompts across multiple Momentum projects?▼

Yes, distill works across Momentum projects and supports remote prompts for external projects. It can be triggered directly or from retro findings, routing changes and optionally logging them to a ledger.

How do I automatically route sprint retro updates to the correct artifact?▼

Distill automatically routes retro-driven updates by performing an audience classification to determine whether the learning belongs in a rule, reference, or skill prompt, then executing a single-file write.

Do I need to manually classify learnings before applying them to artifacts?▼

No, the distill workflow handles audience classification internally during its discovery pass. It determines whether a learning should update a rule, reference, or skill prompt and applies the change automatically.
