Claude Skill Design

About

This meta-skill provides a comprehensive framework for designing effective and low-maintenance Claude Code Skills. It teaches the core philosophy of 'progressive knowledge disclosure,' helping you understand when a skill is the right component and what information to include versus what Claude already knows (the 'knowledge delta principle'). Use this skill when creating a new skill or reviewing an existing one to ensure it is well-structured, valuable, and aligns with best practices.
