Shape messy task input into an implementation-ready task spec with scope, criteria, risks, dependencies, and execution plan. Trigger on /distill or turn this into a task spec.
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
# /distill — Task transformation
Turn raw task text into a tiered executable spec following `TASK.schema.md`. Auto-tiers by complexity or accepts explicit `--tier`. Optional `--group` loads CODEMAPs for cited-path context.
## Step 0: Inputs
- **Raw task input** — inline string argument, file path, or prompt user to paste if no argument provided.
- **Optional `--group=<tag>`** — load CODEMAPs + STITCH for cited-path context (see shared-block below).
<!-- shared-block: group-loader -->
Read `~/.claude/aria-knowledge.local.md`. Parse YAML frontmatter `projects_groups` (multi-line YAML block — see `CONFIG.md` "Skill-only fields" for canonical schema, including the optional `stitch_path` sub-field and custom-role conventions).
Look up `<tag>` in `projects_list` (get `project_root`) and `projects_groups` (get role → folder dict).
- If `<tag>` missing from `projects_list`: stop with *"unknown project tag: <tag>"*.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.2e7ae9e, 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.
The registry has recorded 3 versions of this file, between May 24, 2026 and Aug 19, 2026, about one every 44 days. Its first recorded version is graded B and its latest A.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
