# Skill Distiller - Workflow To Reusable Skill
This skill turns a successful interaction pattern into a reusable agent skill.
It is a meta-workflow: it extracts what mattered, removes one-off details, writes a clear `SKILL.md`, and places it in the right skillpack or plugin structure when asked.
## Activation
Use this skill for requests like:
- "make this into a skill"
- "skillify this workflow"
- "distill what we did"
- "capture this way of thinking / this mode"
- "what did you need to know before executing?"
- "make a videos/storyboard skill"
- "add this to my skillpack"
- "create a reusable Codex skill from this"
Do not use this skill for ordinary task execution unless the user wants the workflow itself captured.
## Preflight
Before writing files, establish:
- skill archetype: a **procedure/workflow** skill (does a task) or a **thinking-mode/voice** skill (installs a way of reasoning). This changes the shape — see Skill Shape.
- target host: Codex, Claude Code, both, or host-agnostic
- host coupling: does the skill touch host-specific paths or tools? If not, keep it host-agnostic and add **no** host-selection logic — a pure-reasoning skill is agnostic by default.
- target package: existing plugin, flat skill folder, project-scoped skill, or new plugin
- skill name and namespace
- trigger phrases
- workflow scope: what this skill should do
- explicit exclusions: what this skill should not do
- the skill's own worst failure mode, and the guard built into the skill t
