AI Skill Authoring (Writing Skills) FAQs

Question 1

What does it mean to apply TDD to documentation?

Accepted Answer

It involves creating a 'pressure scenario' where an agent fails a task, writing the minimum documentation needed to make the agent succeed (pass), and then refactoring the text for clarity and token efficiency.

Question 2

What is the difference between a skill and a project convention?

Accepted Answer

Skills are reusable across different projects and focus on techniques or tools, while project-specific conventions belong in a CLAUDE.md file.

Question 3

What is Claude Search Optimization (CSO)?

Accepted Answer

CSO is the practice of structuring skill metadata and descriptions so that Claude can accurately identify and load the correct skill when it encounters specific triggering conditions or symptoms.

Question 4

Why shouldn't I summarize the workflow in the skill description?

Accepted Answer

If the description summarizes the workflow, Claude may follow that brief summary instead of reading the full skill content, often resulting in skipped steps or ignored nuances.

Question 5

How can I keep my AI skills token-efficient?

Accepted Answer

Aim for word counts under 200 for frequently loaded skills, use cross-references for repeated logic, and move technical details like CLI flags to internal tool help screens.
