FAQPage Schema
What is progressive disclosure in AI skill creation and when should I use it?

Progressive disclosure in AI skill creation is a design principle that structures skill content to reveal information sequentially. You should use it when building modular extensions to keep the AI agent focused and prevent context overload.

How do I structure an AI skill using SKILL.md and bundled resources?

To structure an AI skill, create a required SKILL.md file for core logic and use optional scripts, references, and assets directories for bundled resources. This modular structure ensures the AI agent can efficiently access necessary components.

What are the best practices for writing SKILL.md frontmatter and content?

Best practices for writing SKILL.md content include maintaining conciseness, setting appropriate degrees of freedom for the AI agent, and validating the structure. Proper frontmatter ensures the skill is discoverable and usable by the agent.

Can I use bundled scripts and references to extend AI agent capabilities?

Yes, you can use bundled scripts and references to extend AI agent capabilities. These optional directories allow you to package external assets and logic alongside the SKILL.md file, creating robust modular extensions without cluttering the core prompt.

How do I validate a new AI skill after defining its structure?

To validate a new AI skill, follow the creation process guide from understanding the skill to iteration. Validation ensures the SKILL.md content, frontmatter, and bundled resources function correctly and are fully discoverable by the AI agent.
