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…
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
# 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@sha256:e1ad347d44fb27d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.ba407fe, 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.
