Eve Skill Distillation

Use this workflow to turn repeated patterns into reusable skills.

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.
