Knowledge distillation: candidate extraction, confidence scoring, tier routing. Invoked by /learn and the memory-ingest Stop hook, not loaded proactively by agents. TRIGGER when: /learn or the Stop hook asks to distill, or scoring a candidate. SKIP: file memory writes (use agent-memory); vector store (use semantic-memory-mcp).
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 Methodology Guidelines for automated knowledge extraction and consolidation across memory systems. ## Knowledge Candidate Criteria An insight qualifies as a knowledge candidate when it meets ANY of these: | Criterion | Source | Example | |-----------|--------|---------| | Cross-conversation pattern | 3+ context.md files contain the same insight | "Redis pool exhaustion under SSE load" | | Architectural decision | design.md contains explicit Decision/Rationale section | "Use pgvector for semantic search" | | Recurring gotcha/bug | Keyword match in specs: gotcha, bug, pattern, lesson | "POST 301 redirect strips body" | | Stale reference | File path in memory points to non-existent file | "app/backend/old_module.py" | | Cross-tier duplicate | Same entry in both KNOWLEDGE.md and agent MEMORY.md | Duplicated bullet point | ## Confidence Scoring | Occurrences | Confidence | Tier Recommendation | |-------------|------------|---------------------| | 5+ conversations | 0.5 - 1.0 | shared (KNOWLEDGE.md) | | 3-4 conversations | 0.3 - 0.5 | shared (with review) | | 1-2 conversations | 0.1 - 0.2 | agent-specific MEMORY.md | | Decision section | 0.7 fixed | shared | …

How to install
mdr add komluk/scaffolding/distill@sha256:67aeeed15bff644fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.384b2b2, 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.
