How is the skill context managed efficiently?

Skills use progressive disclosure: metadata is always in context, the SKILL.md body loads when triggered, and bundled resources are only pulled in as Claude needs them.

How do I start creating a new skill?

You can use the provided init_skill.py script which automatically generates a template directory including the required SKILL.md file and resource folders.

What are bundled resources in a skill?

Bundled resources are optional folders (scripts, references, assets) that contain executable code, documentation for context, or files for final output like templates and icons.

How do I share my finished skill?

Run the package_skill.py script to validate your directory structure and metadata; if successful, it generates a distributable zip file for sharing.
