What is the difference between References and Assets?

References are documentation meant to be read by Claude to inform its process, while Assets are files (like logos or templates) meant to be included in Claude's output.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations, acting as a domain-specific onboarding guide.

How do I start creating a new skill?

Use the provided init_skill.py script to automatically generate the required directory structure, YAML metadata, and SKILL.md template.

What is the Progressive Disclosure principle in skills?

It is a design strategy that uses metadata, SKILL.md, and bundled resources to manage context efficiently, loading heavy information only when Claude determines it is necessary.

How do I ensure my skill is formatted correctly?

Run the package_skill.py script which validates your YAML frontmatter, directory structure, and resource references before bundling the skill into a distributable ZIP.
