Why use progressive disclosure in skill design?

It keeps the context window lean by only loading detailed information when the AI determines it is necessary for the current task, saving tokens and improving accuracy.

What is the difference between references and assets?

References are documentation files intended for Claude to read to inform its process, while assets are files like logos or templates intended for use in the final output.

Can I include executable code in a skill?

Yes, skills can include a 'scripts/' directory for Python, Bash, or other code to perform deterministic tasks that would be inefficient or error-prone if written from scratch every time.

What is a Claude Code Skill?
