Where do skills live in a Claude Code plugin?

Skills are located within the plugin's root directory under a dedicated /skills/ folder, organized by individual skill subdirectories.

When should I use scripts instead of instructions?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability or when the same complex code is being rewritten repeatedly by the AI.

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.

How does progressive disclosure work in skills?

It manages context efficiency by using a three-level system: loading metadata first, then the SKILL.md body, and finally bundled resources only as needed.

What are the required components of a skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter metadata (name and description) and Markdown instructions.
