Distill memory
Skill marsmike/agentic-toolkit/plugins/memory/skills/distill-memory
Vault-first toolkit for Claude Code — curated plugins over an Obsidian-compatible knowledge vault, governed by an explicit contract, gated by evals, continuously delivered.

2 things to look at
- 10 days oldThe repository was created 10 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

On-demand — turn archived session records in 00_Memory/sessions/ into durable notes in 00_Memory/notes/. Two-phase review (propose, then confirm), idempotent on re-run. Use to distill or review session memory.

distill-memory
Archived session records (00_Memory/sessions/, written automatically by this
plugin's SessionEnd hook) are raw material, not knowledge — a mechanical pointer plus
some tool/file tallies. This skill is the on-demand step that turns them into durable,
reusable memory: a small set of notes under 00_Memory/notes/ classified as SOP
(a reusable procedure), warning (a gotcha or failure mode to avoid), or fact
(a durable fact worth remembering), each carrying its own provenance back to the
session(s) it came from.
This is judgment work — done by you, the invoking agent, in the current turn. There is
no subprocess or background LLM call; that is deliberate (see
../../README.md's mechanism-vs-content note on why v1's automatic summarizer isn't
ported).
Quick start
Distill session memory
- List undistilled sessions:
distill_memory.list_undistilled_sessions(vault). - Run the two-phase workflow in
references/workflow.md. - Write confirmed candidates via
distill_memory.write_memory_note(...)— idempotent, seereferences/schema.md.
Two-phase review — non-negotiable
Phase 1 (analyze) proposes and stops; Phase 2 (write) only runs after the user
confirms. Skip the checkpoint only on an explicit --auto/non-interactive
instruction. This is the same discipline contract/templates/VAULT_CLAUDE.md requires
of every vault-write workflow — see references/workflow.md for the full procedure.
