How do I ensure my custom skill is token-efficient?

Focus on conciseness by only adding information Claude doesn't already have and using progressive disclosure to load scripts and references only when needed.

What files are required for a Claude skill?

A skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing the name and description. Optional resources include scripts, references, and assets.

How does Claude know when to use a specific skill?

The 'description' field in the YAML frontmatter acts as the primary triggering mechanism; it should define both what the skill does and when Claude should activate it.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, specific workflows, and tool integrations using a standardized SKILL.md format.

Can I bundle executable code with a skill?

Yes, you can include a scripts directory for deterministic tasks, which allows Claude to execute specific code rather than relying on probabilistic text generation.
