How do I keep my Claude skills token-efficient?

Keep the SKILL.md body concise, move detailed documentation to external reference files, and avoid explaining concepts that a high-performing model like Claude already understands.

What is the principle of Progressive Disclosure in skills?

It is a three-level loading system (Metadata > SKILL.md > Resources) that manages the context window efficiently by only loading detailed information when Claude determines it is necessary.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that provides Claude with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools to perform specific domain tasks more effectively.

When should I include scripts in a skill?

Include scripts for tasks that require deterministic reliability, involve repetitive code generation, or are too fragile and error-prone for the AI to perform via text instructions alone.
