How do I ensure my skill is context-efficient?

Keep the SKILL.md concise, challenge every paragraph's token cost, and move detailed documentation or large schemas into separate reference files.

When should I include a script in a skill?

Include scripts when a task requires deterministic reliability, involves repetitive code generation, or is too fragile for text-based instructions alone.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends the AI's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, scripts, and workflows for specific domains.

Why is the progressive disclosure principle used?

It manages the context window efficiently by only loading metadata initially, then the full skill body and resources only when the specific task requires them.
