id | string | Yes | Skill ID. |
version | string | Yes | Version number. • Recommended: A 16-digit Unix microsecond timestamp such as 1759178010641129;• Compatibility: Legacy incremental counters such as "1" or "2" still resolve to the same version during migration.The literal latest is not supported and returns 400.

Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
identity_id | string | No | Use only when operating on Identity-owned resources. A PAT can explicitly supply this query parameter; omitting it uses administrator scope. SAT ownership is determined by the credential. Explicitly supplying this parameter with any SAT (including an empty value) returns HTTP 400. Versions inherit the ownership of their Skill. See Identity ownership. |
