About
dabstractor-mdsel-skill is a Claude Code plugin that implements a Progressive Disclosure Markdown Reader using declarative mdsel selectors, published from dabstractor/mdsel-skill. developers 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.
- Progressive disclosure markdown reader skill packaged as one Claude Code plugin

- Designed for large files where loading the full document wastes tokens
- Keyword focus: access, selectors, markdown, files—fits spec-heavy solo repos

What it does
Install dabstractor-mdsel-skill so Claude Code can read huge markdown specs progressively with declarative mdsel selectors instead of flooding context.
Who is it for?
Best when you have long in-repo markdown—skills, ADRs, PRDs and want selective reads during Claude Code coding and doc tasks.
Skip if: Tiny repos with short READMEs only, or teams that already split docs into small files and never need selector-based partial access.
What you get
After install, the agent can disclose markdown in controlled chunks via selectors so you work faster on large docs with less noise.
- Installed Progressive Disclosure Markdown Reader plugin (1 plugin)
