<Access scope="skills:manage" />

Platform skills include the authoring packs (`code-workflow`, `agent-workflow`, `app`, `skill-authoring`) and content skills (`pdf`, `docx`, `xlsx`, `pptx`). A workspace skill with the same `name` overrides the platform one for agents.

## Response [#response]

```json
{
  "name": "code-workflow",
  "displayName": "Code workflow",
  "description": "Author a code workflow: …",
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "SKILL.md",
      "content": "---\nname: code-workflow\n…",
      "isBinary": false
    },
    { "path": "references/spec.md", "content": "…", "isBinary": false }
  ]
}
```

Binary files carry `isBinary: true` and `content: null`.
