# List skills with optional filters

`GET /api/skills`

Returns skills WITHOUT the heavy `content` (full SKILL.md) by default — list views never render it. Pass `fields=full` to include `content` (e.g. for SDK consumers that read it from the list).

## Query parameters

- `type` string
- `scope` string
- `agentId` string
- `enabled` string
- `search` string
- `fields` 'full' | 'slim'

## Response `200`
