# Get a Skill by slug

`GET /context/skills/{slug}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.adcrunch.dev`
- URL: `https://api.adcrunch.dev/context/skills/{slug}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Reads one Skill by its slug. The answer has the full body and the current revision. Send that revision back as `base_revision` when you update the Skill. `source` names the Catalog Skill that the Skill was imported from, or is `null`.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required: The Skill slug (its handle in your organization).

## Response `200`

The Skill, with its instruction body.

- object
  - `body` string, required: The agent instructions themselves — the `SKILL.md`-equivalent, in markdown.
  - `createdAt` number, required: Milliseconds since the Unix epoch, UTC.
  - `createdBy` string, required
  - `description` string, required
  - `id` string, required
  - `name` string, required
  - `revision` number, required: Increments on every write. Send it back as `base_revision` to edit; a stale one answers 409.
  - `slug` string, required
  - `source` object, nullable, required: The Catalog Skill and the version that this Skill was imported from. It is `null` for a Skill that your organization wrote. An edit keeps it.
    - `slug` string, required: The slug of the Catalog Skill that the Skill was imported from.
    - `version` string, required: The version of the Catalog Skill that the Skill was last imported from, `YYYY-MM-DD`.
  - `updatedAt` number, nullable, required: Milliseconds since the Unix epoch, UTC.

## Other responses

- `400`: The request does not match the schema of this operation: a field is missing or has the wrong type, or the body is not valid JSON. `error` is `invalid_request`, and `issues` names each field. Nothing was changed.
- `401`: No API key, or one that does not resolve. See the security scheme. `error` is `unauthorized`.
- `402`: The organization has no active subscription. An owner subscribes at `paywallUrl`. `error` is `organization_unentitled`.
- `403`: The caller does not hold `skill:read`. `error` is `forbidden`.
- `404`: No Skill with that slug in this organization. `error` is `not_found`.
