- `"anthropic-workspace-id": optional string`

  Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

  Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

#### Returns

- `BetaSkillVersion object`

  - `type: "skill_version"`

    Object type.

    For Skill Versions, this is always `"skill_version"`.

    default: skill_version

  - `id: string`

    Unique identifier for this Skill Version. The id addresses the version in
    paths and pins it in references.

  - `created_at: string`

    ISO 8601 timestamp of when the skill was created.

    format: date-time

  - `description: string`

    Description of the skill version.

    This is extracted from the SKILL.md file in the skill upload.

  - `name: string`

    The Skill's immutable kebab-case slug, set at creation from the first
    upload's SKILL.md frontmatter `name` (or its enclosing directory). Every
    later upload must resolve to the same value. Also the top-level directory
    of the Skill's mounted files and the base name of a downloaded archive.

  - `skill_id: string`

    Unique identifier for the skill.

    The format and length of IDs may change over time.

#### Example

```bash
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/skills/$SKILL_ID/versions/$VERSION \
    -H 'anthropic-version: 2023-06-01' \
    -H "X-Api-Key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
```

##### Response (200)

```

### Delete Skill Version

**DELETE** `/v1/skills/{skill_id}/versions/{version}`

Delete Skill Version

#### Path parameters

- `skill_id: string`

  Unique identifier for the skill.

  The format and length of IDs may change over time.

- `version: string`

  Identifies the skill version by its version ID.

  Requests carrying the `skills-2025-10-02` beta header address versions by their Unix epoch timestamp instead (e.g., "1759178010641129").
