FAQPage Schema
How do I create and package Claude skills with modular workflows?

To create Claude skills, you scaffold a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter and bundle optional scripts, references, and assets to organize procedural knowledge into modular workflows.

What is progressive disclosure and how does it optimize skill context?

Progressive disclosure is a design pattern that loads context efficiently and safely by structuring SKILL.md and bundled resources to provide information only when needed during skill execution.

Do I need frontmatter to build a Claude skill?

Yes, frontmatter is required to build a Claude skill. You must include at least the name and description fields in the SKILL.md frontmatter to properly initialize and define the skill.

What's the best way to organize scripts and references for a skill bundle?

The best way to organize skill bundles is to separate procedural knowledge into distinct scripts, references, and assets directories, enabling progressive disclosure to optimize context loading.

Can I iterate and refine an existing SKILL.md without breaking the workflow?

Yes, you can iterate and refine an existing SKILL.md using defined iteration loops for improvement. The guide provides structured workflows for editing and packaging skills without breaking modular workflows.

When should I not use bundled assets in my Claude skill?

You should avoid bundled assets when your procedural knowledge is simple enough to fit entirely within SKILL.md frontmatter and content, making additional scripts and references unnecessary for context optimization.
