How does progressive disclosure improve performance?

It manages context efficiently by only loading metadata initially, then the full SKILL.md upon triggering, and finally large reference files only when specific domain knowledge is required.

Why should I use imperative form when writing skills?

Verb-first, imperative instructions are clearer for AI models to follow and maintain a professional, instructional tone that leads to more consistent task execution.

What are bundled resources in a skill?

Resources include executable scripts for deterministic tasks, reference files for detailed documentation, and assets like templates or icons used in the final output.

What is a Claude Code Skill?
