What is the anatomy of a skill?

A skill consists of a mandatory SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and optional folders for executable scripts, reference documents, and output assets.

What is the Progressive Disclosure design principle?

It is a strategy to manage context by loading information in three levels: metadata first, the SKILL.md body upon trigger, and bundled resources only as needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a modular package that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations for specific domains.

Why is 'Concise is Key' a core principle?

The context window is a shared resource. Concise skills ensure Claude has more room for conversation history and user requests while maintaining high performance.

How do I ensure my skill is deterministic?

Use the 'scripts/' directory to include executable code (Python/Bash) for tasks that require absolute reliability rather than relying on generative logic.
