Why is 'Progressive Disclosure' important in skill design?

It manages the context window efficiently by loading only metadata first, then the SKILL.md body, and finally specific resources only when Claude determines they are needed.

How do I choose between high and low degrees of freedom?

Use low freedom (specific scripts) for fragile, error-prone tasks where consistency is critical. Use high freedom (text instructions) when multiple approaches are valid and decisions depend on context.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations for specific domains.

What are bundled resources in a skill?

Bundled resources include executable scripts for deterministic tasks, reference documents for domain expertise, and assets like templates or boilerplate code.

Can I use this to update existing skills?

Yes, the Skill Creator Agent provides a framework for iterating on and optimizing existing skills to reduce token costs and improve procedural reliability.

Developer Tools

Guides the development of specialized Claude Code skills by providing structural templates, best practices, and progressive disclosure patterns.

About

The Skill Creator Agent is a foundational meta-skill designed to help developers extend Claude’s capabilities through modular, self-contained packages. It streamlines the creation of domain-specific workflows, tool integrations, and bundled resources by enforcing core principles like context efficiency and progressive disclosure. By providing a standardized framework for SKILL.md files and resource organization, it transforms Claude from a general-purpose assistant into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge and deterministic scripts for any technical domain.

Key Features

Guidance on organizing bundled resources including scripts, references, and assets
Implementation of progressive disclosure patterns to minimize context window bloat
Step-by-step workflow for initializing, editing, and packaging new skills
Best practices for setting appropriate 'degrees of freedom' for AI task execution
37 GitHub stars
Standardized SKILL.md template generation with YAML metadata enforcement

Use Cases

Refactoring complex system prompts into modular, resource-efficient skill packages
Developing custom domain-specific skills for private company APIs and schemas
Onboarding Claude into specialized engineering workflows with deterministic scripts
