How to use Distilly Person Profiles in your AI agent

Install and use the Distilly Person Profiles skill in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Windsurf — with sample prompts.

What you'll get

Distilly turns messages, documents, emails, and interviews about a person into a reusable profile your AI assistant can use. It is pitched at keeping a departing colleague's playbook and judgment, studying how a public figure thinks, or teaching your own assistant who you are. Each profile is built from the source material you provide and can be updated or corrected over time.

Step 2 — Add it to your AI agent

Step 3 — Try these prompts

Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:

  • A teammate is leaving and you want to keep their know-how and context
  • You want your AI assistant to understand your role, style, and priorities
  • Ask how a favorite author or thinker might approach your question
  • You are handing over a project and want the knowledge captured in one place

What this skill does

  • Builds a profile of your own preferences so a personal AI assistant knows who it works for
  • Captures a colleague's workflows, standards, and communication style from their messages and docs
  • Researches a public figure's views and ways of thinking from public sources
  • Imports PDFs, screenshots, email exports, and chat history from Slack, Lark, or WeChat
  • Lets you add new material or correct a profile later, and roll back changes
