Set up the owner profile so a personal agent knows who it works for (first-run setup, "get to know me"), or distill colleague, relationship, or celebrity source material into reusable Person Profiles for agents.

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

> **Language**: These instructions are written in English. Detect the user's language from their first message and reply to the user in that language throughout.

> **Skill Root**: Before reading a bundled prompt or running a bundled script, resolve the absolute directory of the `SKILL.md` that the host actually loaded. In the instructions below, `{distilly_skill_root}` means that exact directory. Claude Code exposes it as `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`; on every other host, use the loaded-skill path supplied by that host's discovery context. Do not assume the shell's current working directory is the Skill root, and do not guess or hard-code an install path. If the host does not expose the loaded path or more than one Distilly installation is ambiguous, ask the user to identify the active installation before running code.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add titanwings/distilly/distilly@sha256:43d9df84a0c94adb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
