SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies cross-cutting principles shared across multiple skills and converts them into formal rules, enabling consistent governance and improvement of the skillset.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory: scans installed skills to surface common principles and potential rule candidates.
  • Cross-skill analysis: clusters skills by themes and extracts actionable rules suitable for revision or creation.
  • Output & integration: suggests appending, revising, or creating new rule files to codify insights.

Quick Start

Run the rules-distill scan to inventory skills and generate rule candidates for review.

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 into formal rules?▼

Cross-cutting principles are extracted by scanning installed skills, clustering them by themes, and using a judgment phase to convert shared insights into codified rules for governance.

How do I generate rule candidates from multiple skills for governance review?▼

Generate rule candidates by running a distillation scan that inventories installed skills, groups related ones, and extracts actionable rules suitable for revising or creating rule files.

When should I run cross-skill analysis to codify shared principles?▼

Run cross-skill analysis during periodic maintenance or immediately after adding new skills to extract actionable principles and verify comprehensive coverage using deterministic data collection.

Do I need jq installed to automate cross-skill rule distillation?▼

Yes, jq is required as a dependency to automate the deterministic data collection process that verifies skill coverage and surfaces potential rule candidates for review.

How are extracted rules integrated into existing rule files?▼

Extracted rules are integrated through a judgment phase that suggests specific actions like appending, revising, or creating new files and sections within existing rule files.
