How does Skill Creator optimize the context window?

It uses Progressive Disclosure, a three-level loading system (Metadata > SKILL.md > Resources) that only provides Claude with detailed information when it is specifically triggered or required.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools, effectively acting as an onboarding guide for specific domains.

When should I include a script in my skill?

Include scripts for tasks that require deterministic reliability, complex operations that are repeatedly rewritten, or processes that benefit from execution without being fully read into the context window.

What is the anatomy of a Claude Skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML metadata and instructions. It can also include optional directories for executable scripts, reference documentation, and output assets.
