What is the standard structure for a Claude Skill?

A standard skill directory includes a SKILL.md file for core instructions, a references folder for deep documentation, a scripts folder for executable tasks, and an assets folder for templates or files.

What is progressive disclosure in Claude Skills?

Progressive disclosure is a 3-level loading strategy (Metadata, Instructions, and Resources) that ensures Claude only loads high-density information when specifically needed, keeping the initial interaction fast and token-efficient.

When should I create a new Claude Skill?

You should create a skill whenever you find yourself repeating context across conversations, requiring specific domain expertise frequently, or wanting Claude to automatically recognize project-specific requirements.

How does Skill Creator help with token limits?

By restricting the core SKILL.md file to under 680 tokens and moving detailed documentation to Level 3 Resources, the skill prevents 'context bloat' and saves tokens for actual coding tasks.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Designs and builds custom Claude Skills using a tiered, progressive disclosure architecture to optimize AI context and performance.

Acerca de

The Skill Creator provides a standardized framework for developing specialized capabilities within Claude Code, ensuring AI behavior remains efficient and contextually aware. By leveraging progressive disclosure—a three-tiered loading system consisting of metadata, core instructions, and on-demand resources—it helps developers automate repetitive context-sharing and domain-specific patterns. This skill is essential for users looking to scale their expertise across projects without bloating the model's immediate context window or hitting token limits prematurely.
