Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle of skill creation?

Because skills share a limited context window with system prompts and conversation history, every token must justify its cost. Concise examples are preferred over verbose explanations.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools, acting as an onboarding guide for specific domains.

How does progressive disclosure work in skills?

It manages context by only loading metadata initially, followed by the SKILL.md body when triggered, and finally loading external references or scripts only when specifically needed.

What is the anatomy of a Claude Code Skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML metadata and instructions. It can optionally include bundled resources like executable scripts, documentation references, and output assets.

When should I use high vs. low degrees of freedom?

Use high freedom for flexible tasks where context guides the approach, and low freedom (like specific scripts) for fragile, error-prone operations where consistency is critical.

学習とドキュメンテーション

Empowers developers to create modular, efficient Claude Code skills using standardized best practices and progressive disclosure principles.

概要

Claude Skill Creator is a specialized meta-skill designed to help users build and optimize their own custom capabilities for Claude Code. It provides a structured framework for extending Claude's behavior with domain-specific knowledge, specialized workflows, and tool integrations. By following established core principles—such as maintaining context efficiency through progressive disclosure and setting appropriate degrees of freedom—this skill ensures that custom-built skills are lean, deterministic, and highly effective at transforming Claude into a specialized agent for any technical task.
