What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, tool integrations, and procedural workflows for specific domains.

When should I use a script versus a reference file?

Use scripts for tasks that require deterministic reliability (like PDF rotation). Use references for documentation, schemas, or policies that Claude needs to read to inform its decision-making.

Why is 'Progressive Disclosure' important in skill creation?

Progressive disclosure ensures that Claude only loads detailed information when it's relevant to the current task, preventing the context window from becoming cluttered and saving tokens.

Can I use the Skill Creator to update existing skills?

Yes, the Skill Creator provides the framework and best practices necessary to both initialize new skills and refine existing ones for better efficiency and performance.

Developer Tools

Standardizes the creation and optimization of custom Claude Code skills for specialized workflows.

About

The Skill Creator provides a comprehensive framework for extending Claude’s capabilities through modular, self-contained packages. It guides users through the entire lifecycle of skill development—from initial planning and resource organization to final packaging—ensuring that custom skills are token-efficient, highly reliable, and optimized for progressive context disclosure. By following these established patterns, developers can transform Claude from a general-purpose model into a specialized agent equipped with deep domain expertise and deterministic tool integrations.
