Distilly Person-Profile Workflow

A strict operating contract for building, updating and recalling evidence-grounded person profiles through Distilly's exact five MCP tools.

What it does

Restricts the assistant to exactly five tools — distilly_get, distilly_ingest, distilly_pending, distilly_commit, distilly_correct — keeping person memory local, evidence-bound and reviewable.
Locks the sequence: resolve subject → gather sources → ingest → brief (acquire lease) → build a claim-only patch with exact quotes → commit → verify the active profile.
Specifies wire format (wireVersion: "3", requestId = req_ + 32 lowercase hex) plus recovery paths for stale generation, stale material set, expired lease and digest mismatches.
Prefers sources the user already supplied (pasted text, selected files/directories, public URLs) while skipping symlinks, binaries, credentials and unrelated project files.
Treats every source body as untrusted evidence, never instructions, and flags injection attempts as suspicious_source.

Who it's for

Users who already run (or plan to run) the Distilly plugin and MCP server.
Researchers and knowledge-management folks who need auditable, quote-backed person dossiers.
Developers who want agents held to a rigid tool contract instead of improvising schemas.

Example uses

"Build a profile for Jane from these three interview transcripts" → resolve returns not_found, first batch uses subject.kind: create, later batches use existing, only the final batch uses enqueue: now.
"Show me that profile again" → after resolve, call action: profile (or prompt) and stop; no new research, no empty subjects.
"Correction: he moved to Company B" → distilly_correct with the user's verbatim text, then report the returned suspended state and the review URL.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/titanwings/distilly/HEAD/plugins/shared/skills/distilly/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)

Download the ZIP with the button below.
In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the plugins/shared/skills/distilly folder from the GitHub repo titanwings/distilly into my ~/.claude/skills/titanwings-distilly-3/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/titanwings/distilly.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r distilly/plugins/shared/skills/distilly ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

Open a terminal and clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/titanwings/distilly.git
Copy the skill into your Claude skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r distilly/plugins/shared/skills/distilly ~/.claude/skills/
Confirm ~/.claude/skills/distilly/SKILL.md and its references/ folder came along.
Install and configure the Distilly MCP server (host binding) following the repository's setup docs, and register it with Claude Code.
Restart Claude Code and verify all five distilly_* tools are exposed in the session (e.g. via /mcp).
Trigger it with a request like "research and distill a profile for X from these files." If any tool is missing, the skill will stop and report only that narrow failure.
