What exactly is a Claude Code Skill?

A Skill is a modular, self-contained package that provides specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools to transform Claude from a general agent into a domain-specific expert.

What is the difference between References and Assets in a skill?

References are documents Claude reads to inform its thinking (like API docs), while Assets are files Claude uses in its output (like logos, templates, or boilerplate code).

How does Skill Creator help with context window limits?

It implements progressive disclosure, meaning only essential metadata is loaded initially. Detailed references and scripts are only pulled into context if the specific task requires them.

Can I include executable scripts in my custom skills?

Yes. The framework specifically supports a 'scripts/' directory for Python or Bash code, allowing for deterministic reliability on tasks that shouldn't be left to probabilistic model generation.

What are 'Degrees of Freedom' in skill design?

It refers to how much autonomy you give the AI. High freedom uses text instructions for flexible tasks, while low freedom uses specific scripts for fragile, error-prone operations.

소개

Skill Creator is a specialized meta-skill designed to help developers build, refine, and package new capabilities for Claude Code. It provides a structured framework for extending Claude's intelligence with domain-specific workflows, tool integrations, and procedural knowledge. By emphasizing the principle of progressive disclosure and context window management, it ensures that custom skills remain token-efficient while providing the deterministic reliability of scripts and the depth of specialized reference materials. Whether you are building an automated DevOps utility or a company-specific knowledge base, this skill ensures your extensions are modular, maintainable, and highly effective.
