How do I start creating a new skill?

Use the provided init_skill.py script to generate a standardized directory structure including the required SKILL.md file and optional resource folders.

What is the Progressive Disclosure design principle?

It is a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Resources) that manages context efficiently by only loading detailed information when Claude determines it is needed.

How do I package a skill for distribution?

Run the package_skill.py script, which automatically validates your skill's metadata and directory structure before creating a distributable zip file.

When should I use scripts versus references in a skill?

Use scripts for deterministic, executable tasks like file processing. Use references for documentation, schemas, and policies that inform Claude's decision-making process.

What is a Claude Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools for specific domains or tasks.
