Claude Skill Development FAQs

Question 1

How does Claude know when to use a specific skill?

Accepted Answer

Claude uses the 'name' and 'description' fields in the SKILL.md YAML frontmatter to determine when a skill is relevant to the user's current request.

Question 2

What is a Claude Code Skill?

Accepted Answer

A skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools for specific domains or tasks, acting as an onboarding guide for the AI.

Question 3

How should I write the instructions in a SKILL.md file?

Accepted Answer

Instructions should be written in the imperative or infinitive form (verb-first) and in the third person to provide clear, objective guidance for the AI instance.

Question 4

What is the benefit of the Progressive Disclosure design principle?

Accepted Answer

It manages context window efficiency by only loading what is necessary: metadata first, the SKILL.md body when triggered, and specific resources only as the task requires them.

Question 5

When should I use a script instead of instructions in a skill?

Accepted Answer

Use scripts for tasks that require deterministic reliability or involve code that would be repeatedly rewritten by the AI, saving tokens and increasing accuracy.
