SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Rules Distill skill reduces manual toil by extracting recurring principles across installed skills and converting them into actionable rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory skills and rules to identify cross-cutting patterns.
  • Cross-read and cluster principles by themes, then propose actionable changes: append to existing rules, revise outdated ones, or create new rule files.
  • Provide a structured, auditable workflow that requires user review before applying changes.

Quick Start

Run the distillation workflow to inventory skills and rules and generate actionable recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions about rules-distill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract cross-cutting principles from installed skills to automate governance?

You can automate governance by using a distillation workflow that scans installed skills and rules, clusters recurring principles by theme, and yields actionable recommendations to append, revise, or create new rule files.

How does LLM-based analysis consolidate skill principles into actionable rules?

LLM-based judgment analyzes clustered principles gathered by deterministic scripts, evaluating cross-cutting patterns to output structured verdicts like Append, Revise, New Section, or New File into a results JSON for user review.

Do I need jq installed to run the skill inventory and rules distillation workflow?

Yes, you need the jq dependency installed to execute the deterministic data collection scripts, scan-skills.sh and scan-rules.sh, which gather the skill and rule data required for the consolidation phase.

What is the best way to identify outdated rules across multiple installed skills?

The best way is to cross-read and cluster principles by themes across all installed skills, comparing them against existing rules to generate actionable recommendations that revise outdated content or create new rule files.

Does the rules distillation workflow apply changes to rule files automatically?

No, the workflow provides a structured, auditable process that produces recommendations in a structured results JSON, requiring explicit user review before any changes are applied to existing or new rule files.

Why are my cross-cutting skill principles not converting into actionable rules?

Principles may not convert if the deterministic data collection scripts fail to inventory installed skills properly, or if the LLM-based judgment phase lacks sufficient clustered themes to generate structured Append or Revise verdicts.
