distill CLAUDE.md

distill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from 5queezer/distill. It costs 2,393 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for building and running Distill, a team knowledge server that converts raw developer input into anonymous facts before storage. It documents a layered software design and the server’s storage, search, and memory operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Distill, configuring its local or remote language model, or working on memory search, storage, updates, and deletion.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project’s rules and structure, reducing confusion when changing or running the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

distill CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Distill — Privacy-first Team Memory MCP Server

What this is

An MCP server that gives Claude Code access to a shared team knowledge base. Raw developer input is distilled into anonymous factual knowledge by an LLM before being stored.

Core principle

By default, the local LLM is the privacy component. Raw text → Ollama (local) → distilled fact → team DB. Three independent axes: BACKEND (storage), EMBEDDING_PROVIDER, DISTILLER_PROVIDER. Setting DISTILLER_PROVIDER=gemini sends raw text to Google instead of keeping it local.

Architecture (Uncle Bob / Clean Architecture)

Dependencies point inward. Business logic has no knowledge of frameworks, databases, or transport.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
