Why use the progressive disclosure principle for skills?

This design principle manages the AI's context window efficiently by loading metadata first and detailed resources only when needed, preventing token bloat.

How do I package my finished skill for distribution?

Use the included package_skill.py script to automatically validate your skill structure and create a distributable zip file containing all required files.

How does the Skill Creator help developers?

It provides a structured methodology and utility scripts to initialize, validate, and package skills, ensuring they follow technical best practices for AI efficiency.
