When should I use a script versus a reference file?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability or executable code, and use reference files for documentation, schemas, or policies that Claude should read to inform its logic.

What is the Progressive Disclosure design principle?

It is a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Bundled Resources) that ensures Claude only loads detailed information when it is specifically required for a task.

Why does the Skill Creator emphasize conciseness?

Conciseness is critical because Skills share the context window with the system prompt and conversation history; saving tokens ensures Claude remains performant.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools, acting as an onboarding guide for specific domains.

What files are required for a valid Claude Skill?

A valid skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Optional folders include scripts, references, and assets.
