Retroactively distill the logs of finished work — delete what the repo now answers, keep what code cannot say. Done work only; in-flight logs are never touched.
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
Tenacity distills a log at close-out. Work that finished before that rule existed, or closed without it, still carries everything: per-criterion evidence for tests that live in the tree, full bodies of contracts the final version replaced, an interview whose confirmed problem has lived in the snapshot ever since. This command runs the same move, later.
The concept: **close-out's one rule — does the repo answer this now? — applied where close-out never was, with the check close-out didn't need.** At close-out the verification is minutes old; here it may be months, so the rule is a live question per item:
- **Scope: done, has a log, undistilled.** Only works at `stage: done` with a log whose root, `<slug>.log.md`, does not open with `distilled`. In-flight logs are never touched, whatever the argument says, because the repo can only answer for work that is finished and verified, and this deletion is `errata`'s one carve-out for exactly that work; a slug that names in-flight work is skipped for that reason. The scan is the instrument's — where a policy notice shows instead, run it before proposing:
```!

How to install
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/distill@sha256:36216cd1b5377601The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.51d9739, 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.
