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 via a SKILL.md file and optional resources.

How does this skill manage context window efficiency?

It implements 'Progressive Disclosure,' where metadata is always in context, but large references and scripts are only loaded or executed by Claude when specifically needed.

When should I use scripts versus references in a skill?

Use scripts for executable logic that requires deterministic reliability. Use references for documentation, schemas, or policies that Claude should consult to inform its thinking.

What are the required components of a new skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter metadata (name and description) and imperative Markdown instructions.
