skill-progressive-disclosure-design
From the author
Decide how to split skill content between SKILL.md and reference files for context efficiency and reliable triggering. Use this whenever creating a new Claude skill, refactoring an existing one, or when a SKILL.md is growing past 300-400 lines. Also trigger when the user mentions "progressive disclosure", "reference files", "splitting skills", "skill bundling", "context window for skills", "SKILL.md too long", "what goes in references/", "skill structure", or expresses any uncertainty about where to put content within a skill. Use this even if the user phrases the question as a triggering problem ("how do I make my skill trigger better"), because that question is often confused with the splitting question and needs to be disentangled first.

- skill-creation-walkthroughrampstackco/claude-skillsStep-by-step guide for creating your own Claude Skills, from deciding whether a skill is the right tool to writing the SKILL.md file, structuring reference material, and making it trigger reliably. Use when you want to package a workflow, framework, or repeated task into a reusable Skill, when an existing skill is not triggering or not loading the right context, when you are auditing a skill that is underperforming, or when you want to publish a skill for others. Also triggers when someone asks "how do I make a skill" or "what makes a good skill". Useful for individuals, teams, and anyone publishing skills publicly.Writing★ 992
- skill-authoringgrafana/skillsAuthor, audit, and improve Grafana SKILL.md files against Anthropic's published Agent Skills guidance and the four-dimension rubric the grafana/skills CI gate uses (conciseness, actionability, workflow clarity, progressive disclosure). Applies the canonical SKILL.md structure (YAML frontmatter + body + references/ + scripts/ + assets/), the "pushy description" trigger pattern, the three-level progressive-disclosure model, and the validate-fix-rerun feedback loop. Use when creating a new skill in this repo, when reviewing a skill PR, when a skill's Tessl review score is below 75 (the merge gate), when a skill's description isn't getting picked up by agents, when restructuring a long SKILL.md into a bundle, or when the user asks how to write, improve, optimize, audit, or fix a skill - even if they don't say "skill" explicitly (e.g. "this isn't triggering", "Tessl scored this 72", "split this doc").OfficialWriting★ 290
