Can I include executable scripts in my custom skills?

Yes, skills can include a 'scripts' directory for Python or Bash code. These are used for tasks requiring deterministic reliability and can be executed without always being loaded into the context window.

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 tools for specific domains or tasks.

How does the Skill Creator manage the context window?

It employs a progressive disclosure principle, using a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Bundled Resources) to ensure Claude only uses tokens for the information currently required.

What is the difference between References and Assets in a skill?

References are documentation meant for Claude to read to inform its thinking, while Assets are files like templates, logos, or boilerplate code that Claude uses in the final output it produces for the user.

What files are required for a valid Claude Code skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Other directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ are optional.

開発者ツール

Standardizes the development of high-performance Claude Code skills using optimized context patterns and modular design principles.

概要

The Claude Skill Architect provides a comprehensive framework for building, optimizing, and deploying custom capabilities for the Claude Code environment. It guides developers through the creation of modular 'onboarding guides' for specific domains, ensuring that custom skills remain token-efficient while offering specialized workflows, tool integrations, and deep domain expertise. By implementing progressive disclosure and structured resource management—categorizing content into scripts, references, and assets—this skill helps transform Claude from a general-purpose assistant into a highly specialized agent equipped with precise procedural knowledge and deterministic tools.
