What is a Claude Code Skill?

A specialized package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing domain-specific knowledge, tools, and specialized workflows.

When should I use reference files instead of SKILL.md?

Use reference files for large documentation, schemas, or detailed policies to keep the main SKILL.md lean and prevent context bloat.

How does Skill Creator help with context management?

It implements a progressive disclosure design principle to ensure only essential information is loaded into the context window at any given time.

What is the mandatory file for a Claude Code skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file which must contain YAML frontmatter metadata and markdown instructions for the agent.

Can I include executable scripts in my skills?

Yes, Skill Creator provides patterns for including Python or Bash scripts in a 'scripts/' directory for tasks requiring deterministic reliability.
