What Memory Distill does


description: Distill a single memory file in-place — replace prose narrative with 1-3 sentences of forward-looking truth. argument-hint: [--lang ]

**Note:** `/mempenny:memory-distill` operates on a single file via its explicit path argument, so it does not need `--dir`. The file path IS the target.

Distill a single memory file in-place. No backup — this operation is small and the user can recover from the filesystem's own history if they care.
