When should I use scripts versus references in a skill?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability or executable code, and use references for large documentation, schemas, or policies that Claude should read to inform its logic.

What exactly is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular package containing a SKILL.md file and optional resources like scripts and assets that transform Claude into a specialized agent for specific tasks.

How does the Skill Creator improve context efficiency?

It uses a three-level progressive disclosure system: metadata is always present, the skill body loads upon trigger, and bundled resources are only accessed by Claude as needed.

What is the role of the packaging script?

The packaging script automatically validates the skill's structure, frontmatter, and naming conventions before creating a distributable zip file.

生产力与工作流

Provides a standardized framework and automated workflow for developing, validating, and packaging specialized Claude Code skills.

关于

Claude Skill Creator is a comprehensive guide and toolkit designed to help developers extend Claude's capabilities through modular, domain-specific skills. It establishes a rigorous 6-step development lifecycle—covering initial discovery, resource planning, initialization, editing, validation, and packaging. By utilizing the progressive disclosure design principle, this skill ensures that custom AI extensions remain context-efficient while empowering Claude with the scripts, reference documentation, and assets needed to perform complex, repetitive tasks with deterministic reliability.
