You create a Claude Skill by initializing a directory with a standardized SKILL.md frontmatter, adding reusable resources like scripts and references, and applying progressive disclosure for efficient context management before packaging.

Progressive disclosure is a design pattern that keeps the core workflow lean by exposing advanced content only through references. It ensures efficient context management by loading detailed instructions only when needed during skill execution.

You package a skill by following the validation and packaging steps, using the package_skill.py tool. This process verifies the SKILL.md frontmatter and resource structure before producing the final distributable .skill file.

You can use optional resource directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ to hold reusable tooling and reference material. These directories help maintain a clean structure and support the progressive disclosure loading pattern.

Yes, the framework enforces consistent quality control by requiring a standardized SKILL.md frontmatter and a minimal resource structure. This ensures all team members follow the same validation and packaging steps for skill creation.

The best way to initialize a new skill directory is by using the init_skill.py tool. This sets up the foundational structure, allowing you to customize the SKILL.md file and add optional resources afterward.
