“It actually only loads context when it's relevant to the task”
What It Means
Claude Skills intelligently load only the contextual information needed for the specific task, avoiding information overload
Why It Matters
This solves the 'context rot' problem where too much information confuses AI and leads to poor outputs
When It's True
When working with complex business processes or large amounts of reference material where selective context loading improves performance
When It's Risky
When all available context is genuinely needed for the task or when the AI's judgment about relevance is poor
How to Apply
Structure reference materials into discrete, focused chunks
Let the skill determine what context to load rather than front-loading everything
Monitor output quality to ensure the right context is being retrieved
Create specific reference files for different aspects of the task
Example Scenario
“A customer service skill only loads specific product documentation when customers ask about that product, rather than overwhelming the AI with the entire product catalog for every interaction”
