What is the difference between References and Assets in a skill?

References are documentation meant to be loaded into Claude's context to inform its process, while Assets are files (like logos or templates) intended for output without being read into the context window.

What files are required for a valid Claude Code Skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Optional folders include scripts, references, and assets.

What is the main purpose of the Skill Creator?

It provides a standardized framework and best practices for building modular extensions that add specialized capabilities, workflows, and domain knowledge to Claude Code.

How does this skill optimize token usage?

It implements a three-level progressive disclosure system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Bundled Resources), ensuring Claude only loads deep information when it is strictly necessary for the task.
