Overview

SkillCreateResponse is a Pydantic model that represents the response returned when a skill is created via the beta Skills API. It contains metadata about the newly created skill, including its identifier, timestamps, source, and version information.

Description

The SkillCreateResponse class extends BaseModel and encapsulates the server response for a skill creation operation. It includes the following fields:

• id -- A unique string identifier for the skill. The format and length may change over time.
• created_at -- An ISO 8601 timestamp of when the skill was created.
• updated_at -- An ISO 8601 timestamp of when the skill was last updated.
• display_title -- An optional human-readable label for the skill. This is not included in prompts sent to the model.
• latest_version -- An optional string representing the most recent version of the skill.
• source -- Indicates who created the skill: "custom" for user-created skills, or "anthropic" for Anthropic-created skills.
• type -- The object type, always "skill" for skills.

Usage

Use SkillCreateResponse when working with the beta Skills API to create reusable skill definitions. This response model is returned by the skill creation endpoint and provides the identifiers and metadata needed to reference, update, or manage skills after creation.
