What does the Distill skill do?

It analyzes research artifacts (like .md files) and extracts key findings to create smaller, focused context files that Claude can use for specific tasks.

Where are the distilled files saved?

The location depends on your project layout (flat, separated, or co-located), but you can always override the suggested path during the approval process.

Does it support large research documents?

Yes, it uses a conditional execution mode that delegates large tasks to a specialized agent to handle high-volume file writing efficiently.

How does it handle source tracking?

Every generated context file includes a metadata header with source URLs and links back to the original research document to ensure full traceability.

Can I control what files are created?

Yes, the skill includes a mapping stage where it proposes findings and target files, allowing you to approve, edit, or reject specific rows before any files are written.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Converts raw research artifacts into structured, operational context files for project knowledge management.

The Distill skill bridges the gap between raw exploration and actionable project knowledge by transforming lengthy research documents into focused, interconnected context files. It employs a two-stage process—mapping and generation—ensuring users maintain full control over how information is categorized, while maintaining strict traceability through bidirectional linking and source citations. This is essential for teams building structured project ontologies and maintaining long-term AI context without bloating the prompt window with irrelevant raw data.
