Example prompt: Take this Markdown documentation I've written and distill it into a reusable SKILL.md bundle — here's the content: [paste markdown]. Let me know the price before charging me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert existing Markdown or plain text documentation into a structured, reusable SKILL.md artifact consumable by AI agents. Prefer it over generic text transformation tools when the output must be a SKILL.md bundle specifically formatted for agent skill reuse within the HivemindOS ecosystem. It is particularly suited for packaging knowledge bases, tutorials, or API docs as portable agent skills.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or malformed input text returns an error indicating no content to distill
- Unsupported input format beyond Markdown or plain text may cause processing failure
- x402 payment failure due to insufficient USDC balance blocks execution
- Section selection that yields no distillable content returns a pricing or validation error
- Network timeout on the Cloudflare Worker endpoint returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

## Output

A SKILL.md bundle derived from the supplied Markdown or plain text, structured for reuse by AI agents. The response includes the distilled skill content along with an x402 payment quote based on the selected source sections before the charge is finalized.
