Claude Code cuts claude-api Skill context

Anthropic reduced Claude Code’s built-in claude-api Skill from more than 200,000 tokens to roughly 25,000 by applying progressive disclosure. The redesign loads detailed API knowledge only when relevant, preserving context for the actual coding task.

// ANALYSIS

This is a strong reminder that agent quality depends as much on context architecture as model capability.

–Smaller always-available instructions leave more room for code, tool output, and reasoning
–Progressive disclosure turns large skills into navigable knowledge bases instead of prompt-sized manuals
–Skill maintenance should be treated like software maintenance: prune duplication, split references, and test retrieval paths
–The approach scales better as teams add specialized skills, agents, and project knowledge
