Create a Skill

Creates a Skill in your organization. The body is the playbook itself, and the description is what an agent reads to choose it. AdCrunch makes the slug from the name. To set a different slug, send one. The answer is 409 if the slug already exists in your organization.

POST/context/skills

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer token · headerrequired

Send Authorization: Bearer <credential>.

Use an API key (acr_…), from the AdCrunch console under Settings → API keys.

The credential names the organization, and no operation takes an organization parameter.

See https://docs.adcrunch.dev/api/authentication.
