Process pending transcript distillation

Distill Pending Sessions

Trigger distillation of pending transcripts and check distillation status.

How Distillation Works

  1. Automatic: The daemon distills transcripts every 5 minutes (configurable)
  2. On Compaction: PreCompact hook triggers immediate distillation before context is lost
  3. On Session Start: SessionStart hook triggers distillation of any pending work

Manual Trigger

If you need to manually trigger distillation for the current session:

# Add to queue for daemon processing
echo '{"tool":"distill_trigger","args":{"session_id":"CURRENT_SESSION_ID"},"ts":'$(date +%s)'}' >> /tmp/chitta-queue.jsonl

Check Distillation Status

View registered transcripts and their distillation state:

chitta transcript_list

This shows:

  • session_id: Transcript identifier
  • last_processed_line: How many lines have been distilled
  • distilled: Whether any distillation has occurred
  • realm: Project context

Distillation Output

Distilled learnings are stored as memories with:

  • [learn] prefix for extracted insights
  • SSL format for efficient storage
  • Connected via triplets for graph navigation

Configuration

Daemon distillation settings (in chittad --help):

  • --distill-interval MINS: Check interval (default: 5)
  • --distill-min-turns N: Min turns before distilling (default: 4)
  • --distill-model MODEL: LLM model for extraction
  • --no-distill: Disable automatic distillation

Troubleshooting

If distillation isn't running:

  1. Check daemon is running: chitta health_check
  2. Check opencode is available: which opencode
  3. Check transcript is registered: chitta transcript_list
  4. Check queue is being processed: ls -la /tmp/chitta-queue.jsonl*
