distill SKILL.md skillA

distill from wenlan-app/wenlan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add wenlan-app/wenlan/distill@git:20261020.754f06a

Pins git:20261020.754f06a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Synthesize wiki pages from related memories. One endpoint, one flow: daemon clusters and synthesizes what it can; agent finishes whatever the daemon couldn't (no LLM or cluster too big). Invoked as `/wenlan distill [target]`.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /wenlan distill

Force a distillation pass now. The daemon's background distill cycles run
on its own clock; `/wenlan distill` is the explicit user-triggered pass.

## Mental model

Distillation is four operations bundled into one flow:

- **emerge** — cluster new memories into new pages
- **absorb** — assign orphan memories to existing pages, propose new pages
  from topics that 2+ existing pages link to but no page is named for
- **refresh** — regenerate stale pages from their source memories (only when
  the user has not edited the page; pages you have touched stay locked)
- **merge** — combine duplicate pages flagged by the daemon's global review

The default flow runs all four. The `rebuild` verb is a destructive opt-in
that overrides the lock on a single page.

## Single flow

One POST to the daemon. Response splits into:

- `pages_created` / `created_ids`: pages the daemon synthesized itself
  (only when daemon has an LLM).
- `pending`: clusters the daemon couldn't finish. The agent
  synthesizes each in this session and POSTs them back to `/api/pages`.

Trigger timing is the only thing that differs between background distill

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wenlan-app/wenlan/distill@sha256:553c1a6d44eb91e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.754f06a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
