🧬 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 a distilly directory. The former name above remains for search continuity and project history.

Massive thanks to everyone who starred — we'll keep shipping, keep distilling.

🧬 2026.08.24 Update — The creator is now named Distilly end to end and documents native local Skill discovery for Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, Pi, Grok Build, and OpenCode. Grok Bot is listed separately as a saved-Skill workflow preview.

📝 2026.06.01 Update — The COLLEAGUE.SKILL technical report is now available. The most rewarding part was not simply publishing a paper, but seeing the community grow the gallery to 215 skills contributed by 165 people, with more than 100,000 stars across the skill cards. The paper's Acknowledgements explicitly recognize every community contributor.

🆕 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.
