Knowledge Extraction
Extract structured, quality-scored domain knowledge from any AI model — in-session from closed models (no API key) or locally from open-source models via Ollama.
Overview
bdistill turns your AI subscription sessions into a compounding knowledge base. The agent answers targeted domain questions, bdistill structures and quality-scores the responses, and the output accumulates into a searchable, exportable reference dataset.
Adversarial mode challenges the agent's claims — forcing evidence, corrections, and acknowledged limitations — producing validated knowledge entries.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when you need structured reference data on any domain (medical, legal, finance, cybersecurity)
- Use when building lookup tables, Q&A datasets, or research corpora
- Use when generating training data for traditional ML models (regression, classification — NOT competing LLMs)
- Use when you want cross-model comparison on domain knowledge
How It Works
Step 1: Install
pip install bdistill
claude mcp add bdistill -- bdistill-mcp # Claude Code
Step 2: Extract knowledge in-session
/distill medical cardiology # Preset domain
/distill --custom kubernetes docker helm # Custom terms
/distill --adversarial medical # With adversarial validation
Step 3: Search, export, compound
bdistill kb list # Show all domains
bdistill kb search "atrial fibrillation" # Keyword search
bdistill kb export -d medical -f csv # Export as spreadsheet
bdistill kb export -d medical -f markdown # Readable knowledge document
Output Format
Structured reference JSONL — not training data:
{
"question": "What causes myocardial infarction?",
"answer": "Myocardial infarction results from acute coronary artery occlusion...",
"domain": "medical",
"category": "cardiology",
"tags": ["mechanistic", "evidence-based"],
"quality_score": 0.73,
"confidence": 1.08,
"validated": true,
"source_model": "Claude Sonnet 4"
}
Tabular ML Data Generation
Generate structured training data for traditional ML models:
/schema sepsis | hr:float, bp:float, temp:float, wbc:float | risk:category[low,moderate,high,critical]
Exports as CSV ready for pandas/sklearn. Each row tracks source_model for cross-model analysis.
Local Model Extraction (Ollama)
For open-source models running locally:
# Install Ollama from https://ollama.com
ollama serve
ollama pull qwen3:4b
bdistill extract --domain medical --model qwen3:4b
Security & Safety Notes
- In-session extraction uses your existing subscription — no additional API keys
- Local extraction runs entirely on your machine via Ollama
- No data is sent to external services
- Output is reference data, not LLM training format
