+name: Distill Memory
+description: Recognize breakthrough moments, blocking resolutions, and design decisions worth preserving. Detect high-value insights that save future time. Suggest distillation at valuable moments, not routine work.

+
+# Distill Memory
+
+## When to Suggest (Moment Detection)
+
+**Breakthrough:** Extended debugging resolves, user relief ("Finally!", "Aha!"), root cause found
+
+**Decision:** Compared options, chose with rationale, trade-off resolved
+
+**Research:** Investigated multiple approaches, conclusion reached, optimal path determined
+
+**Twist:** Unexpected cause-effect, counterintuitive solution, assumption challenged
+
+**Lesson:** "Next time do X", preventive measure, pattern recognized
+
+**Skip:** Routine fixes, work in progress, simple Q&A, generic info
+
+## Memory Quality
+
+**Good (atomic + actionable):**
+
+- "React hooks cleanup must return function. Caused leaks."
+- "PostgreSQL over MongoDB: ACID needed for transactions."
+
+**Poor:** Vague "Fixed bugs", conversation transcript
+
+## Tool Usage
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": "Insight + context for future use",
+  "title": "Searchable (50-60 chars)",
+  "importance": 0.8,
+  "labels": "tech,domain,topic"
+}
+```
+
+**Content:** Outcome/insight focus, include "why", enough context
+
+**Importance:** 0.8-1.0 major | 0.5-0.7 useful | 0.3-0.4 minor
+
+**Labels:** 2-4 max, check existing first, lowercase-hyphenated
+
+## Suggestion
+
+**Timing:** After resolution/decision, when user pauses
+
+**Pattern:** "This [type] seems valuable - [essence]. Distill into memory?"
+
+**Frequency:** 1-3 per session typical, quality over quantity
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If the MCP is not installed, you can install it with the following command:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http nowledge-mem http://localhost:14242/mcp --scope user
+```
