How do I optimize my skill's context window usage?

The Skill Creator recommends a 'Progressive Disclosure' design, where only essential metadata is loaded initially, while detailed documentation and scripts are loaded only when specifically needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations, essentially acting as an onboarding guide for a specific domain.

What files are required in a new skill?

Every skill must contain a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (name and description). Optional folders include scripts/ for code, references/ for docs, and assets/ for templates.

When should I use a script versus text instructions?

Use scripts when a task requires deterministic reliability or involves repetitive code. Use text instructions when multiple approaches are valid and Claude needs to exercise judgment.
