What are the core components of a skill?

A standard skill includes a required SKILL.md file (containing YAML metadata and markdown instructions) and optional folders for scripts, references, and assets.

When should I use a script versus a reference file?

Use scripts for deterministic, repetitive tasks like file conversion or API calls. Use reference files for large datasets, schemas, or documentation that Claude should only read when necessary.

How does Skill Creator help with token efficiency?

It implements 'Progressive Disclosure,' a principle that ensures only the most relevant information is loaded into the context window at any given time, preventing 'context bloat' and saving tokens.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package—consisting of a SKILL.md file and optional resources—that provides Claude with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools for specific tasks.
