What is the Progressive Disclosure principle?

It is a design pattern that manages context window efficiency by only loading detailed information (like reference files or scripts) when Claude specifically needs them for a task.

Why is the SKILL.md file important?

SKILL.md is the required entry point for any skill; it contains the metadata (name and description) that Claude uses to decide when to trigger the skill.

When should I use scripts instead of text instructions?

Use scripts for tasks requiring deterministic reliability, complex calculations, or operations that are fragile and error-prone when performed by text generation alone.

How do I optimize the context window for my skills?

Keep the SKILL.md body under 500 lines and move detailed schemas, examples, or documentation into separate reference files that are linked as needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized, modular package containing knowledge, workflows, and tools that extend Claude's behavior for specific tasks or domains.

Developer Tools

Architects specialized Claude Code skills through modular design, optimized context management, and standardized resource integration.

About

The Skill Creator provides a robust framework for developers looking to extend Claude's native capabilities into specialized domains. By following the principles of progressive disclosure and concise context management, this skill guides users through the process of building modular packages that include custom workflows, deterministic scripts, and domain-specific reference materials. It transforms Claude from a general-purpose assistant into a highly specialized agent capable of executing complex, multi-step procedures with company-specific logic and precision.
