What problem does it solve?
This skill streamlines and automates initializing a conversation-distill knowledge repository, removing the manual steps of configuring channels, permissions, repo structure, and initial state so teams can quickly start capturing and indexing knowledge.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Service Detection: Detects available MCP servers (GitHub, Discord, QMD) and Notion credentials, reporting status and required actions.
- Permissions Management: Merges or creates
.claude/settings.json permission allowlists for MCP tool usage, with safe merging and user confirmation.
- Repo Initialization: Creates config.json from a template, preserves or initializes .distill/state.json, creates authored-docs folders, updates .gitignore, and optionally commits changes.
- Use Case: A developer onboarding a new project can run this to prepare Notion caching, QMD indexing, and MCP permissions before running automated daily distillation.
Quick Start
Run /conversation-distill:setup and follow the interactive prompts to detect services, configure channels, merge permissions, initialize the repo structure, and commit any changes.
