When should I use the Router Pattern for a skill?

You should use the Router Pattern for complex skills that involve multiple distinct tasks. This keeps the main SKILL.md concise and improves performance by loading specific content only when needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular, filesystem-based capability that provides domain-specific expertise, best practices, and structured workflows to the Claude Code agent.

Why does this skill recommend XML tags over Markdown headings?

Using pure XML tags helps Claude more accurately distinguish between structural instructions and the content itself, leading to more reliable adherence to complex logic and workflows.

What is the benefit of progressive disclosure in skills?

Progressive disclosure keeps the initial context window small by only loading essential principles first, then fetching detailed workflows or references as the user's specific intent is identified.
