About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. They provide:
- Specialized workflows — multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations — instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise — company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources — scripts, references, and assets for complex tasks
Core Principles
Concise is key. The context window is a public good. Only add context Claude doesn't already have. Challenge each piece: "Does this justify its token cost?"
