# Get one authored skill + its versions + editable manifest

`GET /v1/authored-skills/{skill_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.patricia.app` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.patricia.app/v1/authored-skills/{skill_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

One authored skill scoped to the caller's tenant (foreign/global id → 404). ``in_use`` says the skill is enabled somewhere in the workspace; ``installation`` carries the install itself only when this caller may see it, so a teammate's personal install reads as in use with no install to open.

## Path parameters

- `skill_id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `X-Tenant-Id` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- AuthoredSkillDetail: One authored skill + its version history + the latest editable manifest (for the editor).
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `slug` string, required
  - `title` string, required
  - `description` string, nullable
  - `provenance_code` string, required
  - `archetype_code` string, required
  - `in_use` boolean
  - `can_manage` boolean
  - `authored_by_caller` boolean
  - `versions` AuthoredVersionSummary[]
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `semver` string, required
    - `status_code` string, required
    - `source_kind` string, nullable
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `latest_manifest` object, nullable
  - `installation` InstallationSummary: A tenant's skill installation: the Hub card + settings header (no PII). Carries the installed skill's display metadata (``title``/``slug``/``description``) resolved from the pinned manifest version's ``SkillDefinition`` so the Hub can name the card + page header without a second lookup. These are display labels, never a personal fact (G4). Every response uses the shared installation-summary builder, which also supplies the definition's listing state.
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `skill_id` string, uuid, required
    - `manifest_version_id` string, uuid, required
    - `status_code` string, required
    - `config_version` integer, required
    - `projection_generation` integer, required
    - `activated_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
    - `first_live_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
    - `killed_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
    - `kill_reason` string, nullable, required
    - `title` string, nullable
    - `slug` string, nullable
    - `description` string, nullable
    - `listing_state` 'unlisted' | 'testing' | 'listed': Who can discover and install a global skill.
    - `is_portable` boolean, nullable
    - `archetype_code` string, nullable
    - `can_edit_definition` boolean, nullable
    - `removable` boolean: Whether this installation may be removed from the workspace.
    - `visibility_code` 'team' | 'personal', required: Who, within a tenant, an installed skill is visible to (``skill_installation.visibility_code``). The skill-side counterpart of ``IntegrationVisibility``: ``TEAM`` is any actor in the tenant, ``PERSONAL`` is only the actor who installed it (``owner_actor_id``). A TEAM install is safe to surface in the shared, per-tenant prompt cache; a PERSONAL install is surfaced only through the per-run, actor-scoped progressive-disclosure loader (never the shared prompt, which would leak it across actors).
    - `is_mine` boolean, nullable
    - `can_change_visibility` boolean
    - `has_settings` boolean, nullable
    - `is_catalog_default` boolean
    - `effectively_enabled` boolean
    - `update_available` boolean
    - `available_version_id` string, uuid, nullable
    - `outdated_config` boolean
    - `outdated_config_reasons` string[]
    - `about` SkillAboutSummary: What a skill IS, projected from its pinned manifest: the Hub's plain-language overview. The Hub renders a skill's feature from its compiled ``feature_surface`` rows, but a skill whose manifest declares no surfaces (every ``skill``/``instructions`` archetype today) compiles none, so that path alone leaves the page blank. The manifest still describes the skill perfectly well (what it is for, what to say to reach it, what it wants connected), and this projects exactly that, generically: no per-skill branching, one shape for every archetype. Display labels only, never a personal fact (G4). Every field is optional-or-empty so a manifest that omits one simply renders one section fewer.
      - `category` string, nullable
      - `taxonomy` string, nullable
      - `example_phrases` string[]
      - `requires_connected` string[]
      - `works_with` string[]
      - `needs_skills` string[]
      - `credits_per_run` integer, nullable
      - `instructions_body` string, nullable
      - `has_settings` boolean
