This skill solves the problem of bloated, duplicated, and stale documentation that makes repositories difficult to navigate and maintain. It removes redundant prose and restructures content into small, loadable units to improve clarity for both humans and AI agents.
Run the distill skill to analyze the current repository and generate a plan for minimizing and restructuring the documentation.

To remove redundant documentation, this Skill analyzes Markdown and text files to delete derivable prose, resolve conflicts, and split monoliths into modular files. It generates a plan-first approach, requiring explicit approval before modifying or deleting any content.
Blank-slate re-derivation evaluates whether documentation would be written from scratch today, rather than incrementally editing existing text. This mechanism ensures repository prose remains a high-value, source-of-truth reference by eliminating accumulated bloat.
Splitting large Markdown monoliths involves identifying focused, single-purpose content boundaries and re-organizing them into loadable units. This Skill generates a restructuring plan that divides monolithic documents to improve repository navigation and maintenance.
A clean git working tree is required to safely perform plan-based deletions and file re-organization of documentation. This safety-first prerequisite ensures that all structural modifications to Markdown and configuration comments can be securely managed.
Configuration comments can be minimized alongside Markdown documentation. This Skill operates across configuration comments and text files to ensure all repository prose remains concise and free of redundant or derivable information.
The best way to deduplicate conflicting information is to analyze the repository and generate a plan that identifies contradictions across files. This Skill ensures safe, plan-based deletions and restructuring to maintain a single source of truth.
