What problem does it solve?

Agents can reuse patterns and decisions only if past recorder and verification evidence is distilled into durable, evidence-bound procedures instead of re-deriving steps from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

Evidence-bound procedure drafting: Extracts observed facts from ee JSON and turns them into candidate imperative steps tied to evidence IDs and provenance.
Verification-gated promotion: Produces draft-only outputs when verification is missing, and refuses promotion when verification is failed, stale, or degraded.
Render-only skill capsule output: Generates a review artifact (not an installer) for manual copying when exports are requested and verification passes.
Safety and redaction guardrails: Refuses to proceed when redaction cannot be proven, raw secrets are present, or prompt-injection-like evidence is unquarantined.

Quick Start

Use procedure-distillation to propose a reviewable procedure draft from recorder/evidence inputs and generate a draft YAML that includes the verification plan and evidence pointers.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn recorded agent evidence into reusable procedures?▼

Procedure distillation extracts observed facts from evidence JSON and converts them into candidate imperative steps tied to evidence IDs and provenance. This creates reviewable, reusable procedure drafts bound to specific run IDs.

What happens if verification is missing or failed when generating procedure drafts?▼

Verification gating produces draft-only outputs when verification is missing, and refuses promotion entirely when verification is failed, stale, or degraded. The template enforces workspace scoping, content-hash, and provenance checks.

Can I export a skill capsule artifact from evidence-bound procedures?▼

Yes, when verification passes, the distillation process generates a render-only skill capsule output as a review artifact for manual copying. It is not an installer, but a reviewable YAML file with evidence pointers and the verification plan.

When should I not use evidence-bound procedure distillation?▼

You should not use it when redaction cannot be proven, raw secrets are present, or prompt-injection-like evidence remains unquarantined. The safety guardrails will refuse to proceed under these unsafe conditions.

Does procedure distillation support drift inspection and promotion gating?▼

Yes, it applies to procedure propose, show, verify, and export workflows, explicitly including drift inspection and promotion gating. It ensures procedures are only promoted after passing evidence bundle-driven verification from specific run IDs.
