Distill

Rewrite text to be shorter, clearer, and more direct without losing any information needed to act on it safely and accurately. Preservation is the priority; brevity is the means.

Any condensing pass risks silently dropping a load-bearing detail — an exact path, an ordering constraint, an edge case. The strict loop below defends against that: inventory what must survive, rewrite, then audit the rewrite against the inventory. The audit is the point.

Applies to any text — plans, technical guides, runbooks, agent instructions, design notes — and is especially valuable before handing a document to an agent to execute, where a dropped detail becomes a wrong action.

Input detection

• File path given — read the file in full, then rewrite it in place. Per house rules, propose the change (summary, or full diff if asked) and get approval before writing.
• Text pasted in chat — output the rewrite in chat. Write nothing to disk.
• Ambiguous — ask which the user wants before proceeding.
