To create an AI skill, follow a structured process covering skill design principles, anatomy, and progressive disclosure. You need to write a SKILL.md file and bundle supporting resources like scripts, references, and assets to guide agentic coding workflows.

The anatomy of a skill unit consists of a core SKILL.md file paired with bundled resources. These resources include scripts for execution, references for specialized knowledge, and assets, all structured to manage the context window effectively.

Packaging and iterating on AI skills involves organizing supporting resources and progressively disclosing information to manage the context window. You bundle scripts and references, then refine the SKILL.md structure through continuous iteration to improve agentic coding outcomes.

No external dependencies are required to build skills for agentic coding. The skill creation process relies entirely on structuring internal components like SKILL.md, scripts, and references to provide specialized knowledge and workflow automation without external packages.

The best way to manage the context window during skill creation is through progressive disclosure. This technique structures SKILL.md and bundled resources to provide information incrementally, ensuring the agent processes only necessary context for workflow automation.

Use bundled scripts when your skill requires executable actions for workflow automation, and use references when providing static specialized knowledge. Both components support the SKILL.md file to extend agent capabilities without overwhelming the context window.
