Smart Skill Loading FAQs

Question 1

What is the 'Metadata-first' scanning phase?

Accepted Answer

It is the initial phase where Claude reads only the brief description and triggers of all skills. This allows the model to map out its capabilities without exhausting the context window before the task even begins.

Question 2

What does the Smart Skill Loading skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill implements a progressive disclosure strategy for Claude Code. It scans lightweight metadata first to analyze task relevance, only loading full skill documentation when needed to perform a specific task.

Question 3

When should I use the Smart Skill Loading skill?

Accepted Answer

It is best used when managing a large library (8+) of skills, working under strict token budgets, or when you notice performance degradation due to context bloat from too many active instructions.

Question 4

How does it reduce token usage in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

By loading only the YAML frontmatter of inactive skills (~25 tokens) and conditionally injecting full content only for matched skills, it can reduce system prompt bloat by 1,000 to 1,400 tokens.

Question 5

Does smart loading improve model accuracy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it typically yields a 10% accuracy improvement. By providing targeted context rather than a massive dump of all possible skills, Claude faces less noise and fewer conflicting instructions.
