How do I optimize a skill for the context window?

Use the Progressive Disclosure principle: keep the SKILL.md concise and move detailed schemas, API docs, or large examples into separate reference files that are only loaded when needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized, modular package that extends the Codex agent's capabilities with domain-specific knowledge, workflows, and integrated tools.

What files are mandatory for creating a new skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Other resources like scripts and assets are optional.

What is the difference between a script and a reference in a skill?

Scripts are executable code (Python/Bash) used for deterministic reliability, while references are documentation files loaded into context to inform the AI's reasoning process.

개발자 도구

Guides developers in creating, updating, and optimizing specialized Claude Code skills to extend agent capabilities.

소개

The Skill Creator provides a comprehensive framework for building high-quality Claude Code skills. It transforms the AI from a general-purpose assistant into a domain-specific agent by teaching users how to structure procedural knowledge, manage context window efficiency through progressive disclosure, and integrate bundled resources like scripts and reference documentation. This skill ensures that custom extensions are token-efficient, maintainable, and highly effective for complex, repetitive coding tasks.
