# Create a skill

`POST /v1/fleet/skills`

Creates a workspace skill with the supplied file tree.
Skills support file entries only — linked agent/skill entries
are rejected.

Cleanup is best-effort: if the initial commit fails the empty
repo is deleted, but a transport failure during rollback can
leave an orphan repo with no commits. Subsequent creates with
the same name will then 409; delete the orphan and retry.
