What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools tailored for specific domains or tasks.

How does this skill help with context window management?

It utilizes a three-level 'progressive disclosure' system: metadata for discovery, a lean SKILL.md for core logic, and bundled resources that are only loaded as needed.

What are bundled resources in a Claude skill?

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

What is required to create a new skill?

Every skill requires a directory containing a SKILL.md file with specific YAML frontmatter (name and description) and imperative instruction blocks.

Can I use this to improve existing skills?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on improving skill descriptions, organizing content, and migrating detailed data to reference files to keep the main logic efficient.
