:::tip
LiteLLM follows the [Anthropic Skills API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/skills) for creating, managing, and using reusable AI capabilities.
:::
## **LiteLLM Python SDK Usage**
### Quick Start - Create a Skill
```python showLineNumbers title="create_skill.py"
from litellm import create_skill
import zipfile
import os
# Create a SKILL.md file
skill_content = """---
name: test-skill
description: A custom skill for data analysis
---
# Test Skill
This skill helps with data analysis tasks.
"""
# Create skill directory and SKILL.md
os.makedirs("test-skill", exist_ok=True)
with open("test-skill/SKILL.md", "w") as f:
f.write(skill_content)
# Create a zip file
with zipfile.ZipFile("test-skill.zip", "w") as zipf:
zipf.write("test-skill/SKILL.md", "test-skill/SKILL.md")
# Create the skill
response = create_skill(
display_title="My Custom Skill",
files=[open("test-skill.zip", "rb")],
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
print(f"Skill created: {response.id}")
```
### List Skills
```python showLineNumbers title="list_skills.py"
from litellm import list_skills
response = list_skills(
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-...",
limit=20
)
for skill in response.data:
print(f"{skill.display_title}: {skill.id}")
```
### Get Skill Details
```python showLineNumbers title="get_skill.py"
from litellm import get_skill
skill = get_skill(
skill_id="skill_01...",
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
print(f"Skill: {skill.display_title}")
print(f"Description: {skill.description}")
```
### Delete a Skill
```python showLineNumbers title="delete_skill.py"
from litellm import delete_skill
response = delete_skill(
skill_id="skill_01...",
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
print(f"Deleted: {response.id}")
```
### Async Usage
```python showLineNumbers title="async_skills.py"
from litellm import acreate_skill, alist_skills, aget_skill, adelete_skill
import asyncio
async def manage_skills():
# Create skill
with open("test-skill.zip", "rb") as f:
skill = await acreate_skill(
display_title="My Async Skill",
files=[f],
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
# List skills
skills = await alist_skills(
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
# Get skill
skill_detail = await aget_skill(
skill_id=skill.id,
custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
api_key="sk-ant-..."
)
# Delete skill (if no versions exist)
# await adelete_skill(
# skill_id=skill.id,
# custom_llm_provider="anthropic",
# api_key="sk-ant-..."
# )
asyncio.run(manage_skills())
```
## **LiteLLM Proxy Usage**
LiteLLM provides Anthropic-compatible `/skills` endpoints for managing skills.
### Authentication
There are two ways to authenticate Skills API requests:
**Option 1: Use Default ANTHROPIC_API_KEY**
Set the `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable. Requests without a `model` parameter will use this default key.
```yaml showLineNumbers title="config.yaml"
# No model_list needed - uses env var
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```
```bash
# Request will use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from environment
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
**Option 2: Specify Model for Credential Selection**
Define multiple models in your config and use the `model` parameter to specify which credentials to use.
```yaml showLineNumbers title="config.yaml"
model_list:
- model_name: claude-sonnet
litellm_params:
model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
api_key: os.environ/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
```
Start litellm
```bash
litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
# RUNNING on http://0.0.0.0:4000
```
### Basic Usage
All examples below work with **either** authentication option (default env key or model-based routing).
#### Create Skill
You can upload either a ZIP file or directly upload the SKILL.md file:
**Option 1: Upload ZIP file**
```bash showLineNumbers title="create_skill_zip.sh"
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-X POST \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02" \
-F "display_title=My Skill" \
-F "files[]=@test-skill.zip"
```
**Option 2: Upload SKILL.md directly**
```bash showLineNumbers title="create_skill_md.sh"
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-X POST \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02" \
-F "display_title=My Skill" \
-F "files[]=@test-skill/SKILL.md;filename=test-skill/SKILL.md"
```
#### List Skills
```bash showLineNumbers title="list_skills.sh"
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
#### Get Skill
```bash showLineNumbers title="get_skill.sh"
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01abc?beta=true" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
#### Delete Skill
```bash showLineNumbers title="delete_skill.sh"
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01abc?beta=true" \
-X DELETE \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
### Model-Based Routing (Multi-Account)
If you have multiple Anthropic accounts, you can use model-based routing to specify which account to use:
```yaml showLineNumbers title="config.yaml"
model_list:
- model_name: claude-team-a
litellm_params:
model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
api_key: os.environ/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_TEAM_A
- model_name: claude-team-b
litellm_params:
model: anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
api_key: os.environ/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_TEAM_B
```
Then route to specific accounts using the `model` parameter:
**Create Skill with Routing**
```bash showLineNumbers title="create_with_routing.sh"
# Route to Team A - using ZIP file
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-X POST \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02" \
-F "model=claude-team-a" \
-F "display_title=Team A Skill" \
-F "files[]=@test-skill.zip"
# Route to Team B - using direct SKILL.md upload
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true" \
-X POST \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02" \
-F "model=claude-team-b" \
-F "display_title=Team B Skill" \
-F "files[]=@test-skill/SKILL.md;filename=test-skill/SKILL.md"
```
**List Skills with Routing**
```bash showLineNumbers title="list_with_routing.sh"
# List Team A skills
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true&model=claude-team-a" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
# List Team B skills
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills?beta=true&model=claude-team-b" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
**Get Skill with Routing**
```bash showLineNumbers title="get_with_routing.sh"
# Get skill from Team A
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01abc?beta=true&model=claude-team-a" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
# Get skill from Team B
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01xyz?beta=true&model=claude-team-b" \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
**Delete Skill with Routing**
```bash showLineNumbers title="delete_with_routing.sh"
# Delete skill from Team A
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01abc?beta=true&model=claude-team-a" \
-X DELETE \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
# Delete skill from Team B
curl "http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/skills/skill_01xyz?beta=true&model=claude-team-b" \
-X DELETE \
-H "X-Api-Key: sk-1234" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: skills-2025-10-02"
```
## **SKILL.md Format**
Skills require a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter:
```markdown showLineNumbers title="SKILL.md"
---
name: test-skill
description: A brief description of what this skill does
license: MIT
allowed-tools:
- computer_20250124
- text_editor_20250124
---
# Test Skill
Detailed instructions for Claude on how to use this skill.
## Usage
Examples and best practices...
```
### YAML Frontmatter Requirements
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | Yes | Skill identifier (lowercase, numbers, hyphens only). Must match the directory name. |
| `description` | Yes | Brief description of the skill |
| `license` | No | License type (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0) |
| `allowed-tools` | No | List of Claude tools this skill can use |
| `metadata` | No | Additional custom metadata |
**Important:** The `name` field must exactly match your skill directory name. For example, if your directory is `test-skill`, the frontmatter must have `name: test-skill`.
### File Structure
**Option 1: ZIP file structure**
Skills must be packaged with a top-level directory matching the skill name:
```
test-skill.zip
└── test-skill/ # Top-level folder (name must match skill name in SKILL.md)
└── SKILL.md # Required skill definition file
```
All files must be in the same top-level directory, and `SKILL.md` must be at the root of that directory.
**Option 2: Direct SKILL.md upload**
When uploading `SKILL.md` directly (without creating a ZIP), you must include the skill directory path in the filename parameter to preserve the required structure:
```bash
# The filename parameter must include the skill directory path
-F "files[]=@test-skill/SKILL.md;filename=test-skill/SKILL.md"
```
This tells the API that `SKILL.md` belongs to the `test-skill` directory.
**Important Requirements:**
- The folder name (in ZIP or filename path) **must exactly match** the `name` field in SKILL.md frontmatter
- `SKILL.md` must be in the root of the skill directory (not in a subdirectory)
- All additional files must be in the same skill directory
## **Response Format**
