What it does
dabstractor-mdsel-skill is a Claude Code plugin that implements a Progressive Disclosure Markdown Reader using declarative mdsel selectors, published from dabstractor/mdsel-skill. Solo builders drowning in long SKILL.md files, architecture guides, or generated docs can register it so the agent pulls only the slices it needs rather than ingesting entire trees into context. That pattern matters for agent-heavy workflows where documentation is the source of truth and token budget directly affects iteration speed. The catalog entry carries one plugin and keywords around large files, selectors, and markdown access—signals a focused doc-navigation tool, not a full wiki platform. Use it during build and ongoing docs maintenance when you routinely reference oversized markdown in Claude Code sessions. Beginner-friendly setup assumes standard plugin install; the discipline is in writing good selectors for your file layout.
Highlights
- Progressive disclosure markdown reader skill packaged as one Claude Code plugin
- Declarative selectors (mdsel) to target sections of large markdown files
- Designed for large files where loading the full document wastes tokens
- Keyword focus: access, selectors, markdown, files—fits spec-heavy solo repos
- Community listing from dabstractor/mdsel-skill with a single plugin bundle
Why builders use it
Claude Code burns context and misses details when it loads entire massive markdown specs instead of the sections you actually need.
After install, the agent can disclose markdown in controlled chunks via selectors so you work faster on large docs with less noise.
