advai-distill

advai-distill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Advai-X/advai-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (940 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning a completed task and its verified result into a small, reusable instruction file. A skill is a repeatable set of directions that another coding agent can follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting a finished process, formalizing an agent workflow, and creating a minimal SKILL.md package in an .advai/skills directory.
Why use it?
It preserves a proven workflow without requiring the next agent to read the original conversation.

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

advai-distill 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 12d 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.

Advai Distill

Use this skill to turn a successfully completed task into a reusable minimal skill that another agent can execute without access to the original conversation.

Place the generated skill in .advai/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

  • Extract a reusable skill from the current conversation after the task is complete
  • Distill a successful historical task, prior thread, or agent workflow into a new skill
  • Formalize a repeatable process that was proven during execution
  • Generate a minimal skill package that contains only SKILL.md

Do not use this skill while the source task is still unresolved, missing verification, or mostly exploratory.

Output Contract

  • Create a lowercase hyphenated skill name shorter than 64 characters
  • Create exactly one file in the target skill directory:
.advai/skills/<skill-name>/
└── SKILL.md
  • Write only name and description in the YAML frontmatter
  • Keep the description explicit about both what the skill does and when it should trigger
  • Do not create README, scripts, assets, or process reports unless the user explicitly asks for them

Collect Evidence

  1. Read the full source conversation in chronological order.
  2. If the source is another task or thread, use an available task-reading mechanism. If the history is unavailable or incomplete, ask for the transcript or exported history.
  3. Inspect the final artifacts, diffs, commands, tool outputs, tests, and user acceptance evidence referenced by that conversation.
  4. Treat later user corrections and decisions as authoritative over earlier statements.
  5. Confirm that the task actually succeeded. Do not infer success from confident wording alone.

Extract the Reusable Workflow

Identify:

  • the intended outcome and likely trigger requests
  • required inputs, prerequisites, permissions, and tools
  • the shortest reliable sequence that produced the result
  • decision rules, branches, fallbacks, and confirmation points
  • failures that should be preserved as guardrails
  • concrete verification of the final business or technical outcome

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.
