How does progressive disclosure work in skills?

It uses a three-level system: metadata is always in context, the SKILL.md body loads when triggered, and bundled resources load only when Claude specifically requires them.

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 tools for specific tasks.

Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle for skills?

Skills share the context window with the system prompt and conversation history; keeping them lean ensures there is enough space for Claude to process the actual user request.

What is the difference between scripts and references in a skill?

Scripts are executable code for deterministic tasks, while references are documentation or schemas intended to be loaded into context only when needed.

Can skills contain binary assets like images?

Yes, the 'assets' directory is specifically designed for files like logos, templates, or fonts that Claude uses in output but does not need to read into its context.
