distill

To reduce noise in markdown files without losing facts, you can compress long prose while preserving critical details like dates, URLs, and code snippets. Distill processes individual files or whole directories in place.

Yes, you can compress text across an entire directory at once. Distill recursively processes all nested .md and .txt files, applying configurable distillation passes to reduce noise while keeping every fact intact.

Text compression with distill enforces constraints that preserve URLs, numbers, and code snippets. It reduces prose redundancy and noise while ensuring these specific technical elements remain untouched.

The best way to prepare concise documentation from multiple notes is to run directory-wide distillation. This compresses long prose across nested text and markdown files into concise outputs without omitting critical details.

A key limitation of distilling text files in place is that it modifies original documents directly. You should ensure backups exist before running distillation passes, as the noise reduction alters your markdown and text content.

No dependencies are required to run distill on markdown files. The skill operates independently to apply text-processing and noise-reduction constraints, distilling .md and .txt documents without external packages.
