What are the required components of a skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Optional components include scripts, references, and assets.

When should I use a script instead of text instructions?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability, repetitive code generation, or complex operations where executing code is more token-efficient than explaining the process to the AI.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized, modular package that extends Claude's behavior with domain-specific knowledge, workflows, and tools, effectively acting as an onboarding guide for specific tasks.

Why is the progressive disclosure design principle important?

It keeps the context window efficient by only loading metadata initially, then the SKILL.md body if triggered, and finally detailed resources or scripts only as specifically needed by the AI.

Developer Tools

Standardizes the creation and optimization of specialized Claude Code skills using modular design and context management best practices.

About

The Skill Creator provides a comprehensive framework for building modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities. It guides developers through a three-level progressive disclosure system—metadata, instructions, and bundled resources—to ensure efficient context window usage. By following these patterns, users can transform Claude into a specialized agent equipped with domain-specific workflows, deterministic scripts, and organizational logic that standard models lack.
