Distill a person's (or field's) thinking into a runnable pi skill — research, extract, validate, generate. REQUIRED — read the full skill file first (multi-phase protocol with machine-checked gates); run the validate-run script on <run-dir> before claiming done — ALL-GREEN required. When NOT to use: software engineering conventions (use distill-software); pure research without distillation (use research).
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-persona > Port of the nuwa (女娲) "Skill造人术" methodology. **This is the runtime-agnostic BASE skill** — the WHAT (6 research streams, triple-verification, agentic protocol, fidelity) is fixed; the HOW (concurrency, tool names, skill-dir layout) is an **adapter**. Specializations pin one runtime (e.g. a pi-crew specialization uses `team action='parallel'` + pi skill-dirs + pi-langsrv). Captures HOW someone thinks (mental models + heuristics + expression DNA), not WHAT they said. Produces a self-contained `*-perspective` skill that *acts* like them, not just *sounds* like them. > > **Three flavors** (decide in Phase 0): > - **person** — one mind's framework (default). > - **topic** — a field's toolkit synthesized from many sources (Problem Router + lazy-load refs + optional user-data persistence). > - **software** — see the companion doc `software-distillation` (codebase conventions / engineer persona / domain expertise; adds `language` + `distilled_against` staleness anchors and pi-langsrv-based research). --- > Detail: self-upgrade directive + apply-side consent gate — see `references/self-upgrade-directive.md` --- ## Core principles (never violate) …

How to install
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/distill-persona@sha256:97e7a4d9f88e3a45The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
