What is the benefit of the Progressive Disclosure principle?

It manages Claude's context window efficiently by only loading detailed resources like documentation or scripts when they are specifically needed for a task.

How does the initialization script help?

The init_skill.py script automatically generates the required SKILL.md template and resource directories (scripts, references, assets), ensuring your skill follows standard conventions.

How do I ensure my custom skill is valid?

Use the package_skill.py script, which performs automated checks on YAML frontmatter, naming conventions, and directory structures before creating a distributable package.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools tailored to specific domains or tasks.

Can I include executable code in a skill?

Yes, you can include Python or Bash scripts in the scripts/ directory to provide deterministic reliability for tasks that are otherwise difficult for an LLM to perform consistently.
