Advanced Skill Example

This skill demonstrates a comprehensive skill structure with all optional components: references, examples, and scripts.

Purpose

Showcase best practices for organizing complex skills:

Lean SKILL.md (core essentials)
Detailed documentation in references/
Working examples in examples/
Utility scripts in scripts/

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Progressive Disclosure

Keep SKILL.md lean by moving detailed content to references:

Read SKILL.md for core concepts and workflows
Consult references for detailed patterns when needed
Use examples for working code samples
Run scripts for common operations

Workflow 2: Resource Organization

Organize skill resources by purpose:

SKILL.md - Core concepts, essential workflows (this file)
references/ - Detailed documentation loaded as needed
examples/ - Working code for copying/adapting
scripts/ - Utility scripts for automation

Additional Resources

Reference Files

For detailed guidance, consult:

references/detailed-patterns.md - Comprehensive implementation patterns
references/advanced-techniques.md - Advanced techniques and edge cases
references/api-reference.md - Complete API documentation

Example Files

Working examples in examples/:

examples/basic-usage.sh - Basic usage example
examples/advanced-config.json - Advanced configuration example

Utility Scripts

Helper scripts in scripts/:

scripts/validate.sh - Validation utility
scripts/generate.py - Code generation script

Key Principles

Keep SKILL.md lean - Target 1,500-2,000 words
Move details to references - Load only when needed
Provide working examples - Ready to copy/adapt
Create utility scripts - Automate common operations

When to Use This Pattern

Use this comprehensive pattern when:

The skill covers a complex domain
Detailed documentation is needed
Multiple variations or frameworks are supported
Common operations benefit from automation

This pattern ensures minimal context bloat while making detailed information discoverable when needed.
