Course lesson · Lesson 4

Procedural Memory and Interface Design

Package reusable skills with the right instructions, scripts, and limits so the right capability appears at the right moment.

What you'll take away

Formalize a recurring procedure into a SKILL.md package with metadata, instructions, and bounded tools.
Write an activation description precise enough for the runtime to know when to load the skill.
Apply progressive disclosure — a small always-loaded advertisement over an on-demand body — to protect the context budget.
Treat any script-enabled or third-party skill as a security surface requiring review and least privilege.
