What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability defined in a SKILL.md file that enhances Claude's behavior for specific tasks using domain-specific guidance and tools.

What should be placed in the scripts folder of a skill?

The scripts directory should contain executable code intended for repetitive tasks or actions that require deterministic, reliable results that pure AI logic might miss.

Why is the description field in the frontmatter critical?

Claude uses this short description to evaluate whether a skill is relevant to the current user prompt; a well-written description ensures the skill activates at the right time.

How does progressive disclosure work in skills?

It manages context by only loading metadata initially, then loading the full SKILL.md body when triggered, and finally fetching external references only as needed.

Can I limit which tools a skill is allowed to use?

Yes, the 'allowed-tools' field in the SKILL.md frontmatter explicitly defines which capabilities (like Read, Write, or Bash) the skill can access without additional permission.
