Description
Complete skill compression documentation — all options, modes, and calibration details (~2,500 tokens).
Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only reference for compressing skills and is broadly coherent with that purpose, but it references running 'ollama list' and checking GEMINI_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY even though the skill metadata lists no required binaries or environment variables. Before installing or using this skill: (1) confirm how your agent will execute the provider-detection steps — will it run local commands like 'ollama list'? (2) don't expose API keys unless you understand and trust where they'll be used; ask the maintainer to add required env vars/binaries to the metadata so the scope is explicit; (3) test with dry-run/--dry-run and with non-sensitive sample skills first; and (4) if your platform enforces env-var access controls, ensure those protections are in place. If you need higher assurance, request the author clarify how LLM calls are performed given disable-model-invocation:true and add declared requirements to the registry entry.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: neon-skill-distiller-reference
Version: 0.2.1
The skill bundle is a comprehensive reference for 'Skill Distiller,' a tool designed to help an AI agent compress verbose skill definitions to save context window space. It outlines logic for section classification, token-level importance scoring using information theory, and the use of mathematical symbols (MetaGlyph) for brevity. While it instructs the agent to check for environment variables (GEMINI_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY) and write calibration logs to a local directory (.learnings/skill-distiller/), these actions are consistent with its stated purpose of LLM-based processing and self-improvement, with no evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose (compress/ distill other skills) aligns with the SKILL.md content: parsing sections, scoring importance, and pruning. However, the doc assumes access to an LLM provider (ollama/local, Gemini, OpenAI) for classification and summarization; the registry metadata did not declare any required provider credentials or binaries. Asking for LLM access is reasonable for the task, but it should be declared explicitly.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to run 'ollama list' and to check GEMINI_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY environment variables to auto-detect providers. The skill's declared requirements list no binaries, no env vars, and no config paths, so the SKILL.md references system state (commands and env vars) that are not declared. This is scope creep and should be made explicit.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk delivery model. Nothing will be written to disk by an installer.
Credentials
The instructions reference GEMINI_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY (and imply running ollama) even though requires.env and primary credential are empty. Requesting LLM credentials is proportionate to the task, but those env vars should be listed in the skill metadata so users know what secrets the skill may access.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and disable-model-invocation:true; the skill does not request persistent presence or elevated platform privileges. No indications it will modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install neon-skill-distiller-reference - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/neon-skill-distiller-reference - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.2.1
Version 0.2.1 — This update introduces a comprehensive, ~2,500-token reference for the Skill Distiller.
- Adds full reference documentation covering all skill compression options, modes, calibration methods, and internal logic.
- Explains agent identity, boundaries, options/flags, provider detection, and compression process in detail.
- Includes section-by-section classification, token-level importance rules, and example handling strategies.
- Introduces detailed tables for option flags, importance levels, and compression logic.
- Documents MetaGlyph symbol substitutions and sample scoring/compression prompts.
- Explicitly notes deviation from MCE 300-line guideline for completeness.
- Useful as the canonical reference for all compressed and simplified variants.
