Eve Skill Distillation

This handles the meta problem of turning repeated work into reusable skills for Eve agents. It gives you an orchestrator pattern for batch distillation: identify patterns, create self-contained work items, spawn parallel workers to write or update skills, then collect results. For single skills you can skip the ceremony and just do it directly. The authoring rules are solid: imperative voice, under 5,000 words, teach thinking not just steps, stay agent-agnostic so skills work across different tool implementations. You'd use this after finishing a job where you noticed yourself doing the same thing twice, or when a teammate keeps hitting the same failure mode that needs encoding.

Eve Skill Distillation

Use this workflow to turn repeated patterns into reusable skills.

When to distill

A workflow has repeated across two or more jobs.
Knowledge would benefit other agents working on the same project.
A failure mode keeps recurring and the fix should be encoded.

Workflow: Orchestrate, Don't Serialize

When distilling involves multiple skills (creating several, updating a batch, or a mix), use an orchestrator pattern rather than doing everything sequentially. This protects your context budget and parallelizes independent work.
