distill-concept-books

distill-concept-books is a skill for Codex from xuzhougeng/wisp-science. It costs 210 tokens per session (4,061 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A workflow for turning books about concepts, theories, or analysis methods into reusable task instructions. It scans document images, links claims to evidence, and checks the result through human review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for processing scanned DOCX or PDF books, mapping evidence to claims, and reconstructing methods that can be applied to new tasks.
Why use it?
It addresses the difficulty of extracting reliable, reusable methods from scanned books while keeping the original book and author unidentified. The input does not provide enough detail to describe its exact tasks or outputs further.

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-concept-books 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/audit_candidate_disclosure.py, scripts/hash_candidate_tree.py, scripts/inspect_distillation_state.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

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.
