Architect skills as modular blocks to control token usage and complexity. Use when creating skills >150 lines, breaking down monolithic skills, or planning new architecture. Do not use for evaluating existing skills (use skills-eval) or writing human-facing prose (use writing-clearly-and-concisely). Check this skill before starting any new skill development.

This framework breaks complex skills into focused modules to keep token usage predictable and avoid monolithic files. We use progressive disclosure: starting with essentials and loading deeper technical details via @include or Load: statements only when needed. This approach prevents hitting context limits during long-running tasks.
Modular design keeps file sizes within recommended limits, typically under 150 lines. Shallow dependencies and clear boundaries simplify testing and maintenance. The hub-and-spoke model allows the project to grow without bloating primary skill files, making focused modules easier to verify in isolation and faster to parse.
We design skills around single responsibility and loose coupling. Each module focuses on one task, minimizing dependencies to keep the architecture cohesive. Clear boundaries and well-defined interfaces prevent changes in one module from breaking others. This follows Anthropic's Agent Skills best practices: provide a high-level overview first, then surface details as needed to maintain context efficiency.
