When should I use a script instead of text instructions?

Use scripts for tasks that require deterministic reliability, are repeatedly rewritten by the AI, or need to perform complex operations like file manipulation without consuming large amounts of context.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized, modular package that extends Claude's behavior with domain-specific knowledge, automated scripts, and structured workflows.

What are the required files for a new skill?

Every skill must have a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter (name and description) and Markdown instructions. Other resources like scripts and assets are optional.

Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle?

Context window space is limited; by keeping skills concise and only adding information Claude doesn't already have, you ensure there is enough room for the system prompt and user history.

What is progressive disclosure in skill design?

It is a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Bundled Resources) that ensures Claude only loads detailed information when it is relevant to the current task.
