FAQPage Schema

How do I extract cross-cutting principles from multiple skills into rules?▼

Rule distillation automates extracting cross-cutting principles from multiple skills into rules. It scans your skill inventory to identify common principles and promotes them to a consistent, up-to-date rule set.

What is the best way to automate rule management and update an existing rule set?▼

Automating rule management involves scanning installed skills to extract shared principles. This process appends, revises, or creates new rule files, ensuring your rule set reflects the latest best practices.

Do I need an LLM to distill principles and maintain a rule set?▼

Yes, distilling principles requires an LLM for contextual judgment alongside deterministic scripts for collection. The LLM evaluates extracted principles to decide whether to append, revise, or create new rule files.

When should I run rule extraction to maintain rules across my skill inventory?▼

Rule extraction is intended for periodic maintenance. You should run it regularly to distill new cross-cutting principles from your skill inventory and keep your comprehensive rule set updated.

Can I use scripts to automate rule file creation and revision?▼

Yes, deterministic scripts collect skill data for the rule distillation process. Combined with an LLM for contextual judgment, they automate appending, revising, or creating new rule files based on extracted principles.

Why does rule distillation focus on cross-cutting principles instead of individual skill logic?▼

Rule distillation targets cross-cutting principles to build a comprehensive, consistent rule set. By extracting shared standards from multiple skills, it maintains centralized rules rather than duplicating logic across individual skills.
