How do I structure an AI agent skill to ensure it is effective and token-efficient?▼

To structure an AI agent skill effectively, organize it with a SKILL.md file, scripts, references, and assets. Apply progressive disclosure to provide context only when needed, keeping the skill concise and minimizing token consumption.

What is progressive disclosure when creating agent development skills?▼

How do I bundle API documentation and scripts into a well-structured skill?▼

Bundle API documentation by placing it in the references directory and executable code in the scripts directory. Write a clear SKILL.md to guide the agent on using these bundled resources effectively.

What are the best practices for writing SKILL.md documentation for agent development?▼

Best practices for SKILL.md include writing concise descriptions, setting clear degrees of freedom for the agent, and following progressive disclosure to ensure the documentation remains token-efficient and highly effective.
