Eve Skill Distillation

Capture the pattern

• Identify repeated steps, commands, or failure modes.
• Decide whether to update an existing skill or create a new one.
• Choose the pack:

  • private-eve-dev-skills/eve-dev

    for platform development (private)

  • eve-se

    for Eve-compatible project work

  • eve-work

    for general knowledge work

Create or update the skill

• Add a new skill directory with a

  SKILL.md

  file.
• Use YAML frontmatter with

  name

  and

  description

  only.
• Write instructions in imperative form; keep the body concise.
• Move long details into a

  references/

  file if needed.

Validate and publish

• Use the skill in the next relevant job.
• Update pack README and

  ARCHITECTURE.md

  listings (or the private pack README for dev-only skills).
• Sync or reinstall skills if needed (

  openskills install

  and

  openskills sync

  ).

Recursive skill distillation

• Repeat this loop after each significant job.
• Merge overlapping skills instead of duplicating them.
• Keep skills current as platform behavior evolves.
