How does the Skill Creator optimize context window usage?

It utilizes the Progressive Disclosure principle, which uses a three-level loading system—metadata, body, and resources—so Claude only loads detailed information when it is triggered.

When should I use scripts versus text instructions in a skill?

Use scripts (low freedom) when operations are fragile, error-prone, or require deterministic reliability. Use text instructions (high freedom) when multiple approaches are valid and depend on context.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations for specific domains.

What are the required components of a Claude Code skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter metadata (name and description) and Markdown-formatted instructions for the agent.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Facilitates the creation and optimization of modular Claude Code skills through best practices, structured anatomy, and context-efficient design patterns.

Acerca de

The Skill Creator provides a comprehensive framework for building community-standard extensions that transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized domain expert. It guides users through a structured development process—from identifying reusable scripts and assets to implementing 'Progressive Disclosure' patterns that keep context usage lean. By following these community-vetted principles, developers can create skills that offer the perfect balance of procedural guidance and agent autonomy while ensuring deterministic reliability for complex tasks.
