rules-distill

To extract reusable principles from multiple skills, you can inventory installed skills and cross-read them to identify common patterns, distilling these cross-cutting principles into formal rules. This ensures consistent behavior across agents during governance reviews.

The best way to create formal rules from cross-skill analysis is to apply a deterministic inventory script to scan skills, followed by a formal evaluation process that produces drafts for appending to existing rule files or creating new ones.

Yes, you need jq to distill cross-cutting principles into actionable policy. The Skill relies on this dependency to support its deterministic inventory scripts, which scan installed skills and extract shared principles for formal rule maintenance.

Yes, you can use rules distillation for periodic skill stocktakes. The process surfaces repeatable patterns across installed skills that deserve formal rules, supporting governance reviews by capturing cross-cutting principles into actionable policy.

The scan-skills script works by performing a deterministic inventory of installed skills. It cross-reads them to identify common principles, which are then evaluated formally to draft revisions for existing rule files or generate entirely new rule files.

You should not use cross-skill analysis for rule maintenance if your installed skills lack overlapping behaviors or if you need immediate, single-skill policy enforcement, as this process relies on identifying repeatable cross-cutting patterns across multiple skills.
