distill skillB
distill is agent-read markdown (skill) from yuno15-bb/greymatter-engine: Turn what was just worked out into a C Brain note — filed in the right zone, linked to what it relates to, indexed. Use when the user says "remember this", "save that", "note it down", "distill this session", or when a non-obvious problem has just been solved and the reasoning would otherwise be lost..
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
# Distill into a note A session ends and its reasoning goes with it unless something is written down. This writes it down, in the shape the trunk expects. ## What deserves a note Only what a future reader could not re-derive cheaply: - a defect and **how it was found**, not just the fix; - a decision, its alternatives, and why they lost; - a constraint that is not visible in the code. Not: what the repository already records, what only matters to this conversation, or a summary of work anyone could read from the diff. ## Shape One fact per file, in `~/.c-brain/trunk/<zone>/<slug>.md` where zone is `lessons` (cross-project), `projects/<name>`, `meta` (ways of working) or `life`. ```markdown --- name: <short-kebab-case-slug> description: <one line — this is what recall ranks on, so make it say the fact> metadata: type: reference --- <the fact, stated so it is useful without this conversation> Why: <what makes it non-obvious> How to apply: <the reflex it should produce next time> ``` Link related notes with `[[their-slug]]`. Link generously — a link to a note that does not exist yet marks something worth writing, not an error. ## Then …
