When should I use a Script versus a Reference file?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability or executable code. Use references for documentation, schemas, or policies that Claude should read to inform its decision-making.

What is the Progressive Disclosure principle in skill design?

It is a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Resources) designed to manage context efficiently by only providing Claude with information as it becomes relevant to the task.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a specialized package that extends Claude's capabilities with domain-specific knowledge, workflows, and tools, transforming it into a specialized agent for specific tasks.

How do I ensure my skill doesn't waste tokens?

Follow the 'Concise is Key' principle: only include information Claude doesn't already know, prefer examples over verbose explanations, and move detailed data into external reference files.
