SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of maintaining a consistent and evolving rule set by identifying recurring patterns across multiple skills and promoting them to formal project rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Inventory: Scans all installed skills and existing rules to create a comprehensive index of principles.
  • LLM-Powered Analysis: Uses thematic clustering and cross-reading to identify actionable principles that should be codified.
  • Verdict-Driven Workflow: Provides a structured report with verdicts like Append, Revise, or New File to ensure rules remain relevant and high-quality.

Quick Start

Run the rules-distill skill to scan your current project configuration and generate a report of potential new rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract cross-cutting principles from installed skills into formal project rules?

Extracting cross-cutting principles into formal rules involves scanning installed skills and existing rule directories to identify recurring patterns, then using thematic clustering to codify them. This ensures your project rules evolve consistently across multiple skills without manual tracking.

What is the best way to maintain consistent project rules during automated refactoring?

Maintaining consistent rules during refactoring requires a verdict-driven workflow that evaluates existing rules and returns actionable updates like Append, Revise, or New File. This structured approach prevents redundancy and ensures all modifications align with established best practices.

How does automated rule distillation handle existing rule files?

Automated rule distillation handles existing files by cross-reading installed skills and current rules to identify non-redundant updates. It provides structured verdicts to append, revise, or create new files, ensuring all changes remain actionable and relevant to your maintenance workflow.

Does rule distillation require specific dependencies to analyze project configurations?

Rule distillation requires the jq command-line tool as a dependency to process configuration data. It combines deterministic script execution with LLM-based judgment to accurately analyze and update your project's rule set.

Can I use scripts to automate the inventory of installed skills and rules?

You can use scripts to automate the inventory of installed skills and rules. The system scans all directories to create a comprehensive index of principles, identifying patterns that require codification into existing or new rule files.
