What is the progressive disclosure principle in skills?

It is a design pattern that keeps the core instructions lean while placing large data, like API docs or schemas, into reference files that Claude only loads when needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package consisting of a SKILL.md file and optional resources like scripts or documentation that give Claude specialized procedural knowledge.

How do I initialize a new skill?

You can use the provided init_skill.py script to generate a standard directory structure including folders for scripts, references, and assets.

Can skills include executable code?

Yes, skills can include a scripts directory containing Python, Bash, or other executable files that Claude can run to perform deterministic tasks.

How do I ensure my custom skill is formatted correctly?

The package_skill.py script automatically validates your skill's YAML metadata, directory structure, and instructions before creating a distributable file.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Guides the creation and packaging of specialized skills to extend Claude's capabilities with custom workflows and knowledge.

Acerca de

The Skill Creator is a comprehensive meta-skill designed to transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized expert. It provides a standardized framework for developing modular skill packages, encompassing specialized workflows, tool integrations, and domain expertise. By guiding users through a structured six-step process—from conceptualization and resource planning to automated validation and packaging—it ensures that new skills are token-efficient, deterministic, and optimized for AI consumption.
