What is an Agent Skill?

An Agent Skill is a specialized capability following an open format that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns to AI agents like Claude Code.

How does this skill handle token limits?

It enforces progressive disclosure, keeping the core SKILL.md under 500 lines and moving detailed references to external files to save context window space.

What platforms are compatible with these skills?

Skills created with this toolkit follow an open specification supported by Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex.

Why is the description formula important?

The [WHAT] + [WHEN] + [TRIGGERS] formula ensures the AI agent knows exactly what the skill does and precisely when it should be activated during a conversation.
