Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle for skill creation?

Skills share the context window with conversation history and system prompts. Being concise ensures Claude remains efficient and has enough 'space' to process complex user requests.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

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

What is the Progressive Disclosure design principle?

It is a three-level loading system where Claude only accesses metadata first, then the SKILL.md body, and finally bundled resources only as they are specifically needed.

When should I use scripts instead of text instructions in a skill?

Scripts should be used for tasks requiring deterministic reliability, complex operations that are error-prone for LLMs to rewrite, or frequently repeated logic.

Developer Tools

Guides the development of high-quality Claude Code skills through best practices in modular design and context management.

About

Skill Creator is a meta-utility designed to help developers build, refine, and package specialized capabilities for Claude. It provides a standardized framework for defining domain-specific workflows, tool integrations, and resource management strategies. By following its core principles—such as concise context usage and progressive disclosure—developers can transform Claude from a general agent into a specialized expert tailored to specific technical tasks. This skill ensures that new capabilities are token-efficient, deterministic, and easily maintainable within the Claude Code ecosystem.
