valcraft-distill skillA
valcraft-distill is agent-read markdown (skill) from valzav/valcraft: Distill a prompt artifact — inline prompt text, a markdown prompt file (system prompt, agent instructions, slash command), a skill directory, or a workflow — into its minimal goal-directed essence, a short structured summary of goal, applicability, steps, and load-bearing constraints. Use when explicitly invoked, or when the user asks to distill, condense, deconstruct, or boil down a prompt or skill, asks what a skill actually does under the noise, wants a cleaned minimal copy of a skill saved a.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# valcraft-distill Never replay another Valcraft skill's report. Omit unrelated prior state. When relevant prior state is necessary, summarize it in one prose paragraph containing only the prior outcome, exact target, relevant blocker or handoff, and one suggested next action. The suggested action is advisory and grants no authority. Reduce a prompt artifact to the smallest instruction set that still meets its contract, and present the result either as a short structured summary — the distillate — or as a leaner working copy, depending on the user's goal. distill never edits the source. When the user wants the source improved in place, offer `valcraft-hone` instead. Claude Code `/valcraft:valcraft-<name>`; Codex `$valcraft:valcraft-<name>`; OpenCode `valcraft-<name>`; Cursor `/valcraft-<name>`. Vocabulary, shared with `valcraft-hone` and `valcraft-msw`: a **prompt artifact** is the source being analyzed; its **contract** is its requested outcome plus the smallest criteria that prove it; a **claim** is one atomic instruction, requirement, constraint, example, or rationale. "Skill directory" names only the filesystem container. ## Preflight …

How to install
mdr add valzav/valcraft/valcraft-distill@git:20260827.ba407femdr add valzav/valcraft/valcraft-distill@sha256:e1ad347d44fb27d8Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
