Can I include executable scripts in a custom skill?

Yes, the Skill Creator guides you in placing deterministic code within a 'scripts' directory, allowing Claude to execute complex tasks without repeatedly rewriting logic.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, tools, and procedural workflows, acting like 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-based instructions for the AI agent.

How does this skill help with token optimization?

It implements a 'Progressive Disclosure' principle, ensuring only essential metadata and instructions are loaded initially, while detailed references and scripts are accessed only when needed.

What are 'Degrees of Freedom' in skill creation?

It is a design principle that matches the level of instruction specificity to the task's fragility—using high freedom for creative tasks and low freedom/strict scripts for error-prone operations.
