GitHubKnowledge Distiller
This skill provides a systematic workflow for retrieving conversation sessions, extracting valuable information (entities, relationships, and insights), and persisting them in the Knowledge Base. It transforms transient dialogue into structured, long-term memory.
Prerequisites
- The agent session must have the optional
historyandknowledgebuiltin services enabled. If tool calls fail with a "not enabled" error, enable them via Assistants settings oragent__updateAgentbefore running this workflow. - Runtime tool names use the
server__toolformat shown below (for examplehistory__listSessions,knowledge__recordKnowledge). Match names from the session tool list.
Execution Triggers
Use this skill when the user says:
- "Summarize my learnings from today's sessions."
- "Extract important technical decisions from my recent work."
- "Update the knowledge base with the context we just discussed."
- "Keep track of the project preferences established in this session."
Workflow
1. Define the Analysis Scope
Determine which sessions to analyze based on the user's request:
- Temporal: Today (from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 ISO-8601).
- Recent: The last N sessions from the history.
- Current: Focus only on the active or most recent session.
Use history__listSessions to retrieve the relevant sessionId list if the scope is broader than the current session.
2. Context Preview & Filtering
For each target session:
- Use
history__readSessionto preview message summaries. - Filter for high-value content such as:
- Architecture decisions or design patterns discussed.
- Specific error causes and their confirmed resolutions.
- Library versions, API endpoints, or configuration keys.
- Explicit user preferences or project-specific naming conventions.
3. Deep Extraction (Distillation)
If a session contains valuable information, use history__readMessage for full detail.
Identify and structure the following components:
- Entities: Technologies (e.g., "Tauri 2.0"), Projects (e.g., "LibrAgent"), or Concepts.
- Relationships: Link entities (e.g., "LibrAgent"
USES"SeaORM"). - Content: A concise, stand-alone summary of the knowledge.
4. Structured Recording
Use the knowledge__recordKnowledge tool to persist the findings:
- content: The distilled summary (~500–1000 characters per call).
- entities/relationships: Explicit graph fields using
entity_type/source/target/relation_type(see schema reference). Prefer a few high-value nodes with descriptions. - source: Reference the source
sessionIdor date for traceability. - tags: Include
["distilled", "auto-knowledge", "context-sync"]plus domain tags. Tags are retrieval labels only — they do not become graph entities. - auto_extract: Leave false (default). Only set
truewhen you intentionally want heuristic gap-fill.
Safety & Efficiency
- De-duplication: Before recording, use
knowledge__searchKnowledgeto check if similar knowledge already exists to avoid redundant entries. - Relevance: Skip sessions that are purely social or don't contain reusable technical/project context.
- Graph precision: Do not promote section headers, ISO dates, or short acronyms as entities.
