FAQPage Schema
How do I create an AI skill and structure its files correctly?

To create an AI skill, structure your files into a SKILL.md file alongside scripts, references, and assets directories. Follow the development lifecycle from understanding requirements to iterating on the design for effective AI capabilities.

What is progressive disclosure in AI skill development?

Progressive disclosure in AI skill development is a context management principle that loads information efficiently. It keeps skills concise by exposing only necessary data and resources, preventing context overload during agent execution.

What's the best way to write a SKILL.md file for an AI agent?

The best way to write a SKILL.md file is to define conciseness, set appropriate degrees of freedom, and apply progressive disclosure. Structure the content to guide the agent clearly without overwhelming its context window.

How do I organize bundled resources like scripts and references when building an AI skill?

Organize bundled resources by placing scripts, references, and assets into their respective dedicated directories alongside the SKILL.md file. This structure ensures efficient context management and clean separation of concerns.

Do I need any external dependencies to design AI agent workflows?

No external dependencies are required to design AI agent workflows. The skill creation process relies on standard file structures and core principles like progressive disclosure to extend capabilities without additional tool integrations.

When should I not use a structured file approach for AI skill creation?

You should avoid a structured file approach for AI skill creation if your task requires minimal, one-off instructions that do not benefit from organized bundled resources or progressive disclosure for context management.
