Can skills be shared with a team?

Yes, by placing skills in the .claude/skills/ directory within your project root, they can be committed to version control and shared with your team.

What is progressive disclosure in Claude Skills?

It is a 3-level system that allows Claude to scale to hundreds of skills by only loading metadata initially and loading deep instructions only when a skill is triggered.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns to help Claude perform tasks more effectively.

Where are personal skills stored?
