Skill Development Guide

About

The Skill Development guide is an essential resource for developers building extensions for Claude Code. It provides a comprehensive framework for creating modular, self-contained skills that enhance Claude's capabilities with domain-specific workflows, tool integrations, and expert knowledge. By implementing progressive disclosure design principles and organizing content into scripts, references, and assets, developers can build highly efficient AI agents that manage context window usage effectively while maintaining deterministic reliability for complex tasks.
