Agent: Skills

: Skills

The Agent Skills API exposes the agent’s skill subsystem: browsing the installed skill registry, discovering and importing skills from the remote hub, CRUD on local skills, reading and writing skill source bodies, scanning for importable skills, and managing per-skill trust and enabled state. Use these endpoints when building tooling, IDE integrations, or automation around agent skills.

All endpoints are realm-scoped to the gateway’s own realm (its pinned realm, or its active realm when unpinned); a client-supplied X-Hoody-Realm/?realm= is ignored on this surface and cannot select another realm’s definitions.

Skill registry

`GET /api/v1/agent/skills`

List the installed skills (identity = root_dir + rel_dir) for the requesting cwd/config_dir, with their enabled/trust state.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`page`	query	integer	No	1-based page number for pagination.
`limit`	query	integer	No	Maximum items per page (0 = no pagination).
`X-Hoody-Cwd`	header	string	No	Per-request working-directory scope. Required by routes that resolve a cwd.
`X-Hoody-Config-Dir`	header	string	No	Per-request `--config-dir` override selecting which on-disk `.hoody` install a stateless read/write resolves.
`X-Hoody-Container`	header	string	No	Per-request bound remote container (omitted = local). Rejected (400) on routes with no container dimension.
`X-Hoody-Realm`	header	string	No	Per-request realm selector: `"global"` or a 24-hex id. Ignored on this route.
`realm`	query	string	No	In-query alias of `X-Hoody-Realm`, read only when the header is absent. Ignored on this route.
