Located SKILL.md at .claude/skills/colleague-distillation/SKILL.md (also mirrored under .cursor/skills/). Frontmatter parses with name+description; body references tool_connections/ (present), the jira and slack setup docs (both HTTP 200), and the external titanwings/colleague-skill repo (200). No security smells: no curl|sh, base64, or exfiltration; it does instruct sourcing a local .env for corporate API creds and includes explicit redaction/consent guidance. Could not run OUTPUT vs baseline: the entire extraction depends on live authenticated connections to Slack/Jira/GHE/Confluence plus a private verified_connections.md and .env I do not have, so no real artifact difference is producible — hence setup, not pass.

What Colleague Distillation does

A Claude Code skill that distills a coworker into a reusable "colleague skill" — a work.md (systems, review conventions, workflow patterns) plus a persona.md (tone, decision style, interpersonal habits) — by querying authenticated workplace tools rather than hand-pasted exports. It triggers when the user asks to build a colleague skill, a digital twin of a coworker, or to capture someone's technical voice from Slack, Jira, GHE, Bitbucket, Confluence, Notion, or similar. Requires the 10xProductivity tool_connections plus a private verified_connections.md and .env with real corporate credentials.

How to install Colleague Distillation

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ZhixiangLuo/10xProductivity.git /tmp/colleague-distillation-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/colleague-distillation-src/.claude/skills/colleague-distillation ~/.claude/skills/colleague-distillation
# REQUIRES the full 10xProductivity repo context to actually run:
#  - tool_connections/ docs (in repo: jira, slack, github, confluence, bitbucket-server, etc.)
#  - a private $TENX_PRIVATE_DIR/verified_connections.md listing which tool calls are allowed
#  - $TENX_PRIVATE_DIR/.env (or project .env) with real corporate API tokens (Slack/Jira/GHE/...)
# Without live authenticated connections to those workplace systems the skill cannot pull source material.
# Optional: git clone https://github.com/titanwings/colleague-skill for identical extraction prompt templates.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
