Build Skills Using Progressive Disclosure

Guide for creating skills with 3-level loading, token budgets, and reference structure.

Steps

  1. Review the 3-level loading pattern: metadata → body (<2k tokens) → reference/ files
  2. Scaffold skill directory with SKILL.md and reference/ folder (no stray .md in root)
  3. Write SKILL.md body with links to reference/ files, keeping body under 2k tokens
  4. Validate structure with validate-skill.js and check token budgets
  5. Test by triggering with matching keywords from skill description
