What are the required components of a skill?

Every skill must have a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Optional components include scripts, references, and assets.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, tools, and procedural workflows for specific domains or tasks.

Why should I use Skill Shaper to create my skills?

Skill Shaper provides a standardized framework and best practices to ensure your skills are context-efficient, modular, and performant within Claude's environment.

Can I include executable scripts in my custom skills?

Yes, Skill Shaper guides you on placing Python or Bash scripts in the scripts/ directory, allowing Claude to execute deterministic code without exhausting the context window.

How does progressive disclosure work in Claude skills?

It manages context by only loading metadata initially, the SKILL.md body upon trigger, and external resources only when Claude determines they are strictly necessary.
