Skill Authoring Framework FAQs

Question 1

What is the 300-line limit for SKILL.md files?

Accepted Answer

Keeping the core skill file under 300 lines prevents Claude from skipping content; more detailed documentation or examples are moved to a separate references directory.

Question 2

Why does this skill emphasize authoritative language?

Accepted Answer

LLMs respond more reliably to authoritative terms like 'MUST' and 'NEVER', which help eliminate the 'rationalization space' where agents might otherwise skip steps.

Question 3

Does this skill work with any Claude Code project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, while part of the Reflexive Claude Code (rcc) ecosystem, the principles and templates can be used to document any reusable agent pattern or workflow.

Question 4

How do Pressure Scenarios improve skill quality?

Accepted Answer

Pressure scenarios simulate real-world constraints like deadlines or sunk costs, forcing the agent to reveal if it will bypass best practices when the 'easy' path is available.

Question 5

What is the RED phase in skill writing?

Accepted Answer

The RED phase involves running a baseline test where you watch the AI agent fail a specific scenario without the skill to document exact failure modes and rationalizations.
