Create a skill by defining YAML frontmatter with name and description, writing a procedural body in SKILL.md, and bundling scripts, references, and assets into organized directories. This ensures your skill is discoverable, modular, and extends Claude's capabilities effectively.

Use progressive disclosure by separating executable code into `scripts/`, reference materials into `references/`, and output templates into `assets/`. This structure optimizes token usage, reduces loading complexity, and keeps your skill efficient and maintainable.

Bundle API documentation and integration scripts within your skill's `references/` and `scripts/` directories, define the API's purpose in YAML frontmatter, and structure the SKILL.md body with clear procedural steps. This creates a self-contained, reusable skill for domain-specific API tasks.

Include YAML frontmatter with name and description fields at the top of SKILL.md, followed by a concise procedural body describing the skill's workflow. This metadata makes your skill discoverable and ensures Claude can load and apply it correctly.

Use context management through progressive disclosure—load only essential components initially and defer detailed scripts, references, and assets until needed. This keeps your skill efficient and cost-effective without sacrificing capability or specialized knowledge.

Scripts contain executable code for task automation, references hold documentation and knowledge resources, and assets store output templates and domain-specific data. Organizing resources this way creates deterministic, modular skills that extend Claude's capabilities predictably.
