Progressive disclosure in skill development is a design methodology that keeps SKILL.md bodies lean by linking to external references, runnable examples, and scripts rather than embedding all content directly.

How do I validate triggers and structure when building Claude Code skills?▼

Validating Claude Code skill triggers and structure involves checking the required frontmatter standards, ensuring the lean SKILL.md body adheres to templates, and verifying that external references and examples are properly linked.
