Prompting & Interaction

Progressive Disclosure

Progressive disclosure, applied to agent skills, means giving a model only a short summary of a skill up front and letting it request the full instructions only when the skill is actually needed.

Ask Melo about this← all terms

Rather than loading every available skill's full documentation into context at once — which wastes tokens and dilutes attention — a progressive-disclosure skill system exposes a lightweight name and description first, and the agent fetches the complete skill content on demand. This keeps the base context window small while still giving the agent access to a large library of skills.
