What it does

Progressive Disclosure Design is an agent skill from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. Use this skill when reducing context cost in an agent skill by deciding what belongs in metadata, SKILL.md body, references, scripts, assets, or validation files; trigger when SKILL.md is too long, too detailed, or mixes multiple variants.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Build persistent multi-agent teams that collaborate like real organizations to deliver complex tasks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reducing context cost in an agent skill by deciding what belongs in metadata
  • Validation files
  • Trigger when SKILL.md is too long
  • Mixes multiple variants

Example prompts

  • “/progressive-disclosure-design”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e28736. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Progressive Disclosure Design loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 52 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~366

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use this skill when reducing context cost in an agent skill by deciding what belongs in metadata, SKILL.md body, references, scripts, assets, or validation files; trigger when SKILL.md is too long, too detailed, or mixes multiple variants.

Progressive Disclosure Design

A skill should load information in layers:

text
metadata: name + description for routing
SKILL.md: essential workflow and resource map
references: detailed docs loaded only when needed
scripts: deterministic operations and repeated code
assets: templates or files used in output

Review Checklist

text
Can description route correctly without reading the body?
Does SKILL.md stay focused on core workflow?
Are long examples, schemas, APIs, and policy details in references?
Are fragile repeated operations implemented as scripts?
Are templates or starter files in assets?
Does SKILL.md clearly tell the agent when to load each resource?

Refactor Patterns

text
Multiple domains -> references/<domain>.md
Multiple frameworks -> references/<framework>.md
Repeated code -> scripts/<operation>.py
Output template -> assets/<template>
Large examples -> references/examples.md

Gotchas

  • Do not hide mandatory rules in references unless SKILL.md tells the agent to read them.
  • Do not split so deeply that navigation becomes its own task.
  • Keep references one level deep unless there is a strong reason.
