distill

distill is a skill for Claude Code from johnnywuj81/tokenknows. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that turns the current Claude conversation into a structured document through the TokenKnows service. It supports formats such as weekly reports, technical designs, architecture decision records, incident reviews, books, skills, and knowledge graphs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a weekly report, design document, architecture decision record, incident review, long-form guide, reusable skill, or knowledge graph.
Why use it?
It converts a long conversation into a reusable record with events, titles, authors, and tags. This makes decisions and work history easier to keep and review.

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 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 1mo 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.

Distill Session

把当前 Claude session 蒸馏成 TokenKnows 后端的结构化文档之一。

用户意图判断

用户说下列任一表达,即应调用此 skill:

用户说 推断文档类型
"蒸馏 / 总结 / 整理" 这次对话 让用户选, 默认 weekly_report
"出周报" / "生成周报" / "weekly" weekly_report
"技术方案" / "设计文档" / "tech design" tech_design
"ADR" / "架构决策" / "决策记录" adr
"复盘" / "故障复盘" / "postmortem" incident
"技术书籍" / "教程" / "long-form" book
"蒸馏 skill" / "提炼专家技能" agent_skill
"知识图谱" / "KG" / "实体关系" knowledge_graph

如果用户没明示,优先问一句 "你想蒸馏成哪种类型?周报 / 技术方案 / ADR / 复盘 / 书籍 / Skill / 知识图谱?",然后再走流程。

标准流程 (5 步)

Step 1 · 整理本次 session 的关键事件

把对话拆成 3-10 条 event (每条聚焦一个语义单元):

  • 用户提的需求 / 问题 / 决策点
  • Claude 给出的方案 / 关键代码 / 取舍说明
  • 重要工具调用 (e.g. Edit/Bash 执行的 PR 合并、测试结果)

每条 event 形如:

{
  "external_id": "<session_uuid>-<msg_index>",
  "source_ref": "<session_uuid>",
  "event_type": "ai_conversation_turn",  // 或 tool_call/code_change
  "content": "<对话片段或代码变更摘要>",
  "title": "<一句话标题>",
  "author_name": "user" 或 "Claude",
  "tags": ["关键词1", "关键词2"]
}

关键: external_id 务必唯一 (同 session_uuid + msg_index)避免后端 dedup 时丢失。

Step 2 · 批量提交 events

调 MCP tool: submit_session_events

events: [...上面整理的 3-10 条...]

返回 {ingested, skipped, project_id}。如果 skipped > 0,说明部分 event 被 backend 去重 (content_hash 已存在),正常不用担心。

Step 3 · 触发蒸馏 pipeline

调 MCP tool: distill_document

document_type: "<step 1 用户选的类型>"
time_window: "this_week"  // 默认; 用户明说 "上周/最近 7 天" 时改

返回 {asset_id, status: "generating", view_url, estimated_seconds: 60}。view_url 是完整可点击的绝对 URL (前缀由 TOKENKNOWS_WEB_BASE 决定,默认 http://127.0.0.1:5173)。

告诉用户:"已触发蒸馏,大约 60 秒。我会轮询完成状态。"

Step 4 · 轮询完成

每 5-10 秒调一次 get_asset(asset_id),直到 status == "draft" (或 failed)。

  • 如果 60 秒还在 generating,告诉用户后端 LLM 还在跑,继续等
  • 如果超 3 分钟 → 后端可能挂,提示用户查 backend log
  • 如果 status=draft → 进入 Step 5

Step 5 · 展示蒸馏结果

调 get_asset_chapters(asset_id),拿到完整 markdown。

展示方式按类型分:

  • weekly_report / tech_design / adr / incident: 把每个 chapter 的 title + content 用 markdown headings 直接输出给用户
  • book: 章节多,先列大纲 (chapter titles) 给用户,再问要看哪几章
  • agent_skill: 输出 SKILL.md 风格 markdown, 让用户决定是否落地到 ~/.claude/skills/
  • knowledge_graph: layout 含 nodes/edges; 用 ASCII art 简述 (e.g. Alice --authored_by--> PR#127),指引用户开浏览器看可视化 (URL 在 view_url 里,绝对 URL 可直接点)

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.
