-# Rules Distill
-
-Scan installed skills, extract cross-cutting principles that appear in multiple skills, and distill them into rules — appending to existing rule files, revising outdated content, or creating new rule files.
-
-Applies the "deterministic collection + LLM judgment" principle: scripts collect facts exhaustively, then an LLM cross-reads the full context and produces verdicts.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- Periodic rules maintenance (monthly or after installing new skills)
-- After a skill-stocktake reveals patterns that should be rules
-- When rules feel incomplete relative to the skills being used
-
-## How It Works
-
-The rules distillation process follows three phases:
-
-### Phase 1: Inventory (Deterministic Collection)
-
-#### 1a. Collect skill inventory
-
-```bash
-bash ~/.claude/skills/rules-distill/scripts/scan-skills.sh
-```
-
-#### 1b. Collect rules index
-
-```bash
-bash ~/.claude/skills/rules-distill/scripts/scan-rules.sh
-```
-
-#### 1c. Present to user
-
-```
-Rules Distillation — Phase 1: Inventory
-────────────────────────────────────────
-Skills: {N} files scanned
-Rules:  {M} files ({K} headings indexed)
-
-Proceeding to cross-read analysis...
-```
-
-### Phase 2: Cross-read, Match & Verdict (LLM Judgment)
-
-Extraction and matching are unified in a single pass. Rules files are small enough (~800 lines total) that the full text can be provided to the LLM — no grep pre-filtering needed.
-
-#### Batching
-
-Group skills into **thematic clusters** based on their descriptions. Analyze each cluster in a subagent with the full rules text.
-
-#### Cross-batch Merge
-
-After all batches complete, merge candidates across batches:
-- Deduplicate candidates with the same or overlapping principles
-- Re-check the "2+ skills" requirement using evidence from **all** batches combined — a principle found in 1 skill per batch but 2+ skills total is valid
-
-#### Subagent Prompt
-
-Launch a general-purpose Agent with the following prompt:
-
-````
-You are an analyst who cross-reads skills to extract principles that should be promoted to rules.
-
-## Input
-- Skills: {full text of skills in this batch}
-- Existing rules: {full text of all rule files}
-
-## Extraction Criteria
-
-Include a candidate ONLY if ALL of these are true:
-
-1. **Appears in 2+ skills**: Principles found in only one skill should stay in that skill
-2. **Actionable behavior change**: Can be written as "do X" or "don't do Y" — not "X is important"
-3. **Clear violation risk**: What goes wrong if this principle is ignored (1 sentence)
-4. **Not already in rules**: Check the full rules text — including concepts expressed in different words
-
-## Matching & Verdict
-
-For each candidate, compare against the full rules text and assign a verdict:
-
-- **Append**: Add to an existing section of an existing rule file
-- **Revise**: Existing rule content is inaccurate or insufficient — propose a correction
-- **New Section**: Add a new section to an existing rule file
-- **New File**: Create a new rule file
-- **Already Covered**: Sufficiently covered in existing rules (even if worded differently)
-- **Too Specific**: Should remain at the skill level
-
-## Output Format (per candidate)
-
-```json
-{
-  "principle": "1-2 sentences in 'do X' / 'don't do Y' form",
-  "evidence": ["skill-name: §Section", "skill-name: §Section"],
-  "violation_risk": "1 sentence",
-  "verdict": "Append / Revise / New Section / New File / Already Covered / Too Specific",
-  "target_rule": "filename §Section, or 'new'",
-  "confidence": "high / medium / low",
-  "draft": "Draft text for Append/New Section/New File verdicts",
-  "revision": {
-    "reason": "Why the existing content is inaccurate or insufficient (Revise only)",
-    "before": "Current text to be replaced (Revise only)",
-    "after": "Proposed replacement text (Revise only)"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Exclude
-
-- Obvious principles already in rules
-- Language/framework-specific knowledge (belongs in language-specific rules or skills)
-- Code examples and commands (belongs in skills)

-#### User Actions
-
-User responds with numbers to:
-- **Approve**: Apply draft to rules as-is
-- **Modify**: Edit draft before applying
-- **Skip**: Do not apply this candidate
-
-**Never modify rules automatically. Always require user approval.**
-
-#### Save Results
-
-Store results in the skill directory (`results.json`):
-
-- **Timestamp format**: `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ` (UTC, second precision)
-- **Candidate ID format**: kebab-case derived from the principle (e.g., `llm-output-trust-boundary`)

-## Design Principles
-
-- **What, not How**: Extract principles (rules territory) only. Code examples and commands stay in skills.
-- **Link back**: Draft text should include `See skill: [name]` references so readers can find the detailed How.
-- **Deterministic collection, LLM judgment**: Scripts guarantee exhaustiveness; the LLM guarantees contextual understanding.
-- **Anti-abstraction safeguard**: The 3-layer filter (2+ skills evidence, actionable behavior test, violation risk) prevents overly abstract principles from entering rules.
