To create an AI skill, follow a step-by-step process from understanding the core task to iterating on the design. Structure your content within a SKILL.md file and use separate directories for scripts, references, and assets to maintain modularity.

Progressive disclosure in agent development is a core principle for structuring AI skills to limit initial context loading. It allows an agent to retrieve detailed references or scripts dynamically only when the specific workflow requires that specialized knowledge.

The best way to organize scripts and references is to place executable logic in a dedicated scripts/ directory and supporting documentation in a references/ folder. This separation ensures the AI agent can locate and execute workflows without parsing unnecessary context.

You do not need extensive coding experience to create modular AI skills, but understanding prompt engineering and workflow automation helps. The creation guide is designed for intermediate users, focusing on structuring content and setting degrees of freedom rather than complex programming.

AI skills fail to trigger during workflow automation when they lack conciseness or have poorly defined degrees of freedom. Following the skill anatomy guide to structure your SKILL.md with clear, specialized knowledge ensures the agent recognizes when to apply the workflow.
