Anthropic talks about ‘progressive disclosure’.

If you have a large number of skills, you could group them into a smaller number of skills each with subskills. That way not all the (sub)skill descriptions need to be loaded into context.

For example, instead of having a ‘PDF editing’ skill, you can have a ‘file editing’ skill that, when loaded into context, tells the LLM what type of files it can operate on. And then the LLM can ask for the info about how to do stuff with PDF files.
