What is a Claude Code Skill?

A modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools for specific domains.

What is the anatomy of a Claude Skill?

A skill consists of a required SKILL.md file (metadata and instructions) and optional folders for scripts (executable code), references (docs), and assets (output templates).

Why is conciseness important when creating skills?

Skills share the context window with conversation history and system prompts. Concise skills ensure Claude has maximum room to process user requests without hitting token limits.

When should I use a script versus a text instruction?

Use scripts for fragile, deterministic tasks where consistency is critical. Use text instructions when multiple approaches are valid and the model needs to use its own reasoning.

What is the progressive disclosure design principle?

It is a three-level loading system where Claude only loads detailed information (like reference files or script logic) when they become relevant to the user's specific task.
