Episode 13: Skills

How do you give Claude complex, multi-step capabilities without filling up your context window on every turn? In this episode, we dissect the Agent Skills open standard and the principle of progressive disclosure. Learn how a skill folder with a SKILL.md file keeps token costs minimal by loading only a short description at startup, fetching full instructions only when needed. We also cover how to write trigger descriptions under 200 characters and set up skills in both the Claude app and Claude Code.
