Distilly

What Distilly does

Distilly, formerly Colleague Skill, builds a Person Profile from the materials you supply plus your description: observable experience, decision patterns, expression and ways of working. The README says it does not claim to clone the person behind the profile. The current release packages each profile as an Agent Skill, and the canonical creator skill is named distilly and should be installed in a directory of that name.

One workflow covers three character families: colleague, relationship and celebrity, and the README also mentions public figures, fictional characters and the user. Its 2026.08.24 update documents native local skill discovery for Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, Pi, Grok Build and OpenCode, with Grok Bot listed separately as a saved-skill workflow preview. The README links a technical report on the COLLEAGUE.SKILL project, a community gallery of skills and translations in seven languages.
