Evolver Distill
Distill a reusable, generalized skill or gene from recent run history or a response file.
Execution Guide
When requested, follow these steps:
-
Prefer the Proxy conversation distiller when available — if evolver_distill_conversation is in the MCP tool list and the reusable lesson came from the current conversation, call it first with a concrete summary, signals, strategy steps, artifacts, and validation evidence. The Proxy applies the quality gate, writes the Gene/Capsule locally, and queues Hub publishing when configured.
-
Resolve CLI and execute as a fallback or for existing history:
EVOLVER="evolver"
command -v evolver >/dev/null 2>&1 || EVOLVER="npx -y @evomap/evolver"
Run the distill command passing any optional arguments (e.g. --response-file=<path>):
$EVOLVER distill
-
Report and explain — summarize what was distilled:
- What candidate skill or gene was created?
- What signals does it generalize?
Remind the user that only assets produced through genuine Evolver self-evolution are eligible to be synced or published to the EvoMap skill store using the evolver-sync skill.
