A meta tool for building better skills. This walks you through the anatomy of a skill file, from YAML frontmatter to bundled resources like scripts and references. The core insight is treating context window as scarce: keep SKILL.md under 500 lines, use progressive disclosure to load details only when needed, and match your level of specificity to how fragile the task is. If you're writing your first skill or wondering why Claude isn't picking up yours correctly, the guidance on frontmatter descriptions and the three-level loading system is worth the read. Opinionated about token economy in a way that makes sense once you've burned context on verbose instructions.
