FAQPage Schema
What is progressive disclosure in Claude Code plugin development?▼

Progressive disclosure in Claude Code plugin development structures skill documentation by frontmatter requirements and optional references, exposing details incrementally to maintain consistent, maintainable skill architecture across plugin ecosystems.

How do I structure a Claude Code skill using SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

To structure a Claude Code skill, create a SKILL.md file with frontmatter including name and description fields. Apply the progressive disclosure pattern, then add optional references, examples, and scripts as needed to support the skill's triggers.

What's the best way to organize resources when building Claude Code plugins?▼

The best way to organize Claude Code plugin resources is to apply progressive disclosure by separating core SKILL.md documentation from optional assets. Place references, examples, and scripts in dedicated directories, ensuring triggers are clearly described and frontmatter is complete.

Do I need to include scripts and examples in my Claude Code skill?▼

Scripts and examples are not strictly required in a Claude Code skill. You should add optional references, examples, and scripts only when needed to support the skill's functionality and clearly describe its triggers within the plugin ecosystem.

Why does my Claude Code skill fail validation without proper frontmatter?▼

Claude Code skill validation requires proper frontmatter because it standardizes plugin structure and documentation. SKILL.md frontmatter must include name and description fields to ensure consistent, maintainable skills across plugin ecosystems and enable progressive disclosure.
