clio-kit-workflow-distiller

clio-kit-workflow-distiller is a skill for Claude Code from iowarp/clio-kit. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow that turns a completed session into a reusable SKILL.md instruction file. It reconstructs what happened from the session record and checks for overlap with existing skills before writing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a workflow that has already been carried out as a repeatable coding-agent skill.
Why use it?
It prevents a useful process from being lost or duplicated, while requiring approval before packaging it for reuse.

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

clio-kit-workflow-distiller scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host compatibility

This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.

Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.

Workflow Distiller

Turn a workflow that actually ran into a reusable skill. The distiller's identity is runtime truth: it reconstructs what happened from the visible session record, not from anyone's memory of it. Skip the ceremony when there is no prior workflow; a from-scratch skill is a SKILL.md written directly, following skill-craft. skill-craft also governs how every skill this distiller produces is written: description, body, and pruning rules live there, not here.

Arguments

/skill clio-kit-workflow-distiller [<what to distill>]

With arguments, the text names the workflow to distill; without, distill whichever workflow just ran in this session. Everything else in the request (the conversation so far) is the session record Phase 1 reconstructs from, not more arguments.

A live operator can answer Phase 2's interview and Phase 4's design gate for real - treat a real, answered ask_user reply as proof an operator is present and continue asking one question per round. There is no operator in a headless run: ask_user is not registered, so any call is refused as an unregistered tool rather than answered. When that is the run's condition, do not wait for a reply that cannot come: answer every remaining interview question and the Phase 4 gate yourself as an assumed-confirm monologue (state the question, give your best-grounded answer or design choice, mark it assumed - confirm) and proceed straight through to Phase 5, the same way as a live "looks fine, write it." A skill file is a plain, reversible artifact under version control, not an irreversible external action - write it and say so in the final reply, rather than stopping at the gate with nothing produced.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
