What it does
- When to include: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed
- Example: scripts/rotatepdf.py for PDF rotation tasks
- Benefits: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context
- Note: Scripts may still need to be read by Claude for patching or environment-specific adjustments
- When to include: For documentation that Claude should reference while working
- Use cases: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides
- Benefits: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when Claude determines it's needed
