What is the 'Progressive Disclosure' principle?

It is a design pattern that uses a three-level loading system (Metadata, SKILL.md, and Resources) to provide information to Claude only when it is relevant to the current task.

How do I choose the right degree of freedom for a skill?

Use high freedom for creative tasks where many approaches work, and low freedom (scripts or strict sequences) for fragile operations where consistency is critical.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools for specific domains.

Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle?

The context window is a limited resource shared by the system prompt, history, and metadata; keeping skills concise ensures Claude has enough space for the actual task.

What is the difference between scripts and references in a skill?

Scripts are executable code for deterministic tasks, while references are documentation intended to be loaded into context to inform Claude's reasoning.

Developer Tools

Provides a standardized framework and best practices for building specialized, token-efficient Claude Code skills.

About

The Claude Skill Creator is a specialized meta-skill designed to guide developers through the process of extending Claude's capabilities. It provides a structured methodology for creating 'onboarding guides' that transform Claude from a general-purpose assistant into a domain-specific agent. By emphasizing the 'Progressive Disclosure' design principle and offering clear patterns for bundled resources—such as scripts, references, and assets—this skill ensures that custom extensions remain concise, deterministic, and highly effective within the constraints of the AI's context window.
