What files are required in a Claude Skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Optional folders include scripts, references, and assets.

How does the Skill Creator optimize context window usage?

It uses a three-level progressive disclosure system: metadata for discovery, the SKILL.md body for active guidance, and external references loaded only when necessary.

Can I include executable scripts in my skills?

Yes, you can include Python, Bash, or other scripts in the /scripts folder to ensure deterministic reliability for complex or repetitive tasks.
