Skill Creator
Create effective Claude Skills using progressive disclosure.
When to Create a Skill
Create a skill when you notice:
- Repeating context across conversations
- Domain expertise needed repeatedly
- Project-specific knowledge Claude should know automatically
Progressive Disclosure
Skills load in 3 levels:
- Metadata (~27 tokens optimal, ~100 max) - YAML frontmatter for triggering
- Instructions (<50 lines recommended, 500 max) - SKILL.md body with core patterns
- Resources (unlimited) - references/ scripts/ assets/ loaded on demand
Key: Keep Levels 1 & 2 lean. Move details to Level 3. Use npx claude-skills-cli validate to check budgets.
