Common Misconceptions

  1. "Load everything upfront for best results" → NO: Progressive loading is better
  2. "SKILL.md should be comprehensive" → NO: Keep it minimal, point to details
  3. "All queries need full context" → NO: 80% of queries need quick reference only

  • CONCEPTS.md - Theory, fundamentals, philosophy of progressive disclosure
  • OPERATIONS.md - How to create skills, manage token budgets
  • TECHNICAL.md - Implementation details, file formats
  • REFERENCE.md - Command reference, token estimates

Quick Answers Guide

User asks "what is progressive disclosure?" → Answer from Quick Reference above User asks "why" or theory → Read CONCEPTS.md User asks "how to create a skill" → Read OPERATIONS.md User needs technical details → Read TECHNICAL.md User needs command reference → Read REFERENCE.md
