SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of creating modular, reusable assistant skills that are discoverable, well-structured, and efficient in how they use the context window.

Core Features & Use Cases

Skill authoring guidance: Defines what a skill is, how it should be structured, and what belongs in SKILL.md vs bundled resources.
Efficient context design: Teaches progressive disclosure (metadata first, body on trigger, resources on demand) to minimize token bloat.
Practical creation workflow: Provides step-by-step instructions from understanding requirements to packaging and iterating based on real usage.
Resource selection principles: Recommends when to include scripts, references, and assets, and when to avoid extraneous files.

Quick Start

Use the skill-creator guidance to write or update a new skill’s SKILL.md with clear name and description, then organize any needed scripts, references, and assets into the proper folders.

FAQPage Schema

How do I design assistant skills for efficient context optimization?▼

Structure skill authoring by defining clear requirements, writing SKILL.md with correct YAML metadata, organizing bundled resources like scripts and references into proper folders, and validating the packaged skill.

What is progressive disclosure in skill authoring?▼

Progressive disclosure is a context optimization technique that loads YAML frontmatter first, presents the body on trigger, and retrieves bundled resources on demand to minimize token bloat.

What is the best way to package assistant skills for distribution?▼

Include bundled resources like scripts, references, and assets in your skill directory only when strictly necessary, avoiding extraneous files to maintain efficient context design and reduce token load.

What belongs in SKILL.md versus bundled resource directories?▼

SKILL.md should contain the skill's YAML metadata and core assistant instructions, while supporting scripts, references, and assets belong in separate bundled directories for on-demand retrieval.
