Propose a reusable SKILL.md from the current session when a hard-won insight — or a newly-discovered capability worth reusing — has emerged. TRIGGER on explicit user request ("/distill", "propose a skill", "do we have a pattern here") OR proactively at a natural breakpoint (end of task, after commit, wrap-up) when a single in-the-moment insight is worth bottling NOW. Cross-session recurrence is the silent Distiller's job (Phase 4). Writes only to data/skills/_proposed/ for human review; never auto-installs.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill complements Phase 4 (the cross-session silent Distiller). Phase 4 catches patterns that recur across many sessions; this skill catches the novel in-the-moment insight from THIS session that's worth bottling immediately — because waiting weeks for cross-session recurrence to catch a fresh hard-won discovery is silly.
