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

Progressive disclosure in AI skill creation is a context management practice that structures bundled resources like scripts and references separately from SKILL.md, loading them only when needed to maintain efficiency and conciseness.

How do I structure an AI skill to interact with an external API?

To structure an AI skill for API interaction, you create a main SKILL.md file for core logic and bundle necessary scripts, references, and assets into their respective directories to handle API calls and documentation.

What are the best practices for writing SKILL.md content for developer guides?

Best practices for writing SKILL.md content include maintaining conciseness, setting clear degrees of freedom for the AI, and structuring documentation to guide the development process step-by-step from understanding to iteration.

Do I need any specific dependencies to start building AI skills?

You do not need specific external dependencies to start building AI skills, as the creation process focuses on structuring internal components like scripts and references rather than relying on external libraries.

Why does my AI skill documentation need bundled resources like scripts and references?

AI skill documentation needs bundled resources like scripts and references to provide executable logic and detailed context that exceeds the core SKILL.md, enabling efficient context management through progressive disclosure.
