Skill with References

Description: Demonstrates progressive disclosure by loading reference documentation on demand.

When to use: When explaining how skills can include additional documentation without loading everything upfront.

Workflow

1. Initially, only this SKILL.md is loaded
2. When detailed information is needed, load the appropriate reference document
3. References are in the references/ subdirectory

Available References

• guidelines.md - Detailed guidelines and best practices
• Load these only when specifically needed

Key Points

• References are NOT loaded automatically
• Load references only when the conversation requires them
• This reduces token usage while maintaining deep knowledge availability
• Progressive disclosure = better performance

Example Usage

User asks: "What are the guidelines?" Response: Load references/guidelines.md and provide the information.

User asks: "Tell me about this skill" Response: Explain from this SKILL.md only (don't load references yet).
