What are Skills?
什么是技能？
Skills are folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude discovers and loads dynamically when relevant to a task. Think of them as specialized training manuals that give Claude expertise in specific domains—from working with Excel spreadsheets to following your organization's brand guidelines.
技能是包含指令、脚本和资源的文件夹，Claude在与任务相关时会动态发现和加载它们。可以将它们视为专门的培训手册，使Claude在特定领域具备专业知识——从处理Excel电子表格到遵循您组织的品牌指南。
How Skills work: When Claude encounters a task, it scans available Skills to find relevant matches. Skills use progressive disclosure: metadata loads first (~100 tokens), providing just enough information for Claude to know when a Skill is relevant. Full instructions load when needed (<5k tokens), and bundled files or scripts load only as required.
技能如何工作： 当Claude遇到任务时，它会扫描可用的技能以找到相关匹配项。技能使用渐进式披露：元数据首先加载（~100个令牌），提供足够的信息让Claude知道何时技能是相关的。完整指令在需要时加载（<5k个令牌），捆绑的文件或脚本仅在需要时加载。
When to use Skills: Choose Skills when you need Claude to perform specialized tasks consistently and efficiently. They're ideal for:
