distill_thought_cluster

Compresses multiple thought nodes into one bullet-style distill node (GoT-style distillation operator).

Behavior

  • Takes one or more source_node_ids; optional max_bullets caps how many sources are inlined (default 8).
  • Builds a compact bullet list from the first clause of each source (split on . / newline).
  • Adds depends_on edges from the distill node to each source (the summary depends on those thoughts).
  • Resets the frontier to the distill node.

When to use

  • After exploration when you want a dense executive summary node without dropping provenance links.
