What is the anatomy of a Claude Skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML metadata and instructions. It can optionally include localized documentation, executable scripts, reference materials, and output assets.

Can I include custom scripts in my skill?

Yes, you can include Python or Bash scripts in a 'scripts/' directory for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are too complex for text-based instructions.

How do skills manage context window limits?

Skills use a three-level loading system: metadata is always present, the skill body loads upon trigger, and bundled resources are fetched only as needed to keep the context window lean.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools tailored to specific tasks or domains.
