Distilly — Distill how they think into reusable Skills for any Agent or Bot. Formerly Colleague Skill（原同事 Skill）.
Preview
What you can do with it
- Create an AI agent that communicates and thinks like a specific former colleague or mentor.
- Model a historical figure's or fictional character's persona for AI-driven interactions.
- Develop a personalized AI assistant that reflects your own communication style and decision patterns.
Try asking your agent
- “Create a new 'Person Profile' for a marketing expert, drawing from their blog posts and interview transcripts, focusing on their strategic thinking.”
- “Apply the 'Steve Jobs Profile' skill to my current conversation and respond as if he were advising on product design.”
- “Update the 'Mentor Profile' with new insights from recent meeting notes, ensuring the agent's advice reflects the latest guidance.”

From the README
🧬 Distilly
Formerly: Colleague Skill / colleague-skill.
Distill a person's experience, judgment, voice, and ways of working into a reusable Person Profile for AI agents and compatible bots.
Messages · documents · interviews · public sources → Distilly → Person Profile → Agent / Bot
🧑💼 Your colleague quit, your mentor graduated, your teammate transferred — taking their whole playbook and context with them? 💞 Your family, old friends, partner drifting apart — and you want to hold on to the way it felt to be with them? 🌟 Your favorite author, idol, thinker you'll never meet — but you want to know what they'd say about your question?
✨ One project, many kinds of people.
Distilly is the person-modeling layer for agents. It turns the materials you provide into a portable, source-grounded Person Profile built from observable experience, decision patterns, expression, and ways of working; it does not claim to clone the person behind them.
Colleagues · partners · family · old friends · idols · public figures · fictional characters — even yourself
Source material + your description → a source-grounded Person Profile → your Agent or compatible Bot
A Person Profile is the reusable output. The current release packages each profile as an Agent Skill so supported hosts can install and invoke it. The canonical creator Skill is named
distilly; install it in adistillydirectory. The former name above remains for search continuity and project history.

📝 2026.06.01 Update — The COLLEAGUE.SKILL technical report is now available.

🆕 What Distilly does today
1️⃣ From Colleague Skill to Distilly
The project is no longer limited to the colleague scenario. Its distilly creator builds source-grounded Person Profiles for three person families with one workflow, then packages each profile as an Agent Skill.
2️⃣ Three character families
🧑💼 colleague 💞 relationship 🌟 celebrity
Coworkers · mentors · teammates · up/downstream partners Exes · partners · parents · friends · close family Public figures · creators · public voices · fictional characters
Builds a Work Skill + Persona from material-derived technical standards, workflows, expression, and workplace behavior. Supports Lark / DingTalk / Slack collection. Organizes material-derived expression patterns, emotional triggers, conflict patterns, and repair patterns into a reusable Persona Skill. Ships with a six-dimension research toolchain (subtitles → transcript cleanup → research merge → quality check) for organizing observable decisions, expression, and mental models.
Each family has its own source-collection strategy, analysis dimensions, and Person Profile structure.
3️⃣ More Agent hosts
The old version only ran in Claude Code. Distilly now supports native local Skill discovery across eight agent hosts.
Grok Bot preview: Grok Bot supports saved/private Skills, but its official docs do not describe direct local SKILL.md imports. Distilly's workflow can be migrated manually into a saved Skill; direct repo installation is not yet verified.
Each generated Person Profile is packaged as an Agent Skill and can be installed into any supported host.
🤖 Personal Agents
Distilly also targets the personal agents people now live with. Each one keeps its own memory and connected accounts, so a Person Profile is meant to carry over into them instead of starting from zero.
