When should I use high vs. low degrees of freedom?

Use high freedom for tasks where multiple approaches are valid, and low freedom (strict scripts) for fragile, error-prone operations where consistency is critical.

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 an onboarding guide for specific tasks.

What are 'Bundled Resources' in Claude Skills?

They include executable scripts for deterministic tasks, reference documents for domain knowledge, and assets like templates or logos used in output.

How does this skill help with context window management?

It implements 'Progressive Disclosure,' loading only metadata initially, then the skill body, and finally specific resources only when they are needed for the task.

What is the anatomy of a skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML metadata and markdown instructions, and can optionally include scripts, references, and assets.
