The copy is private, it is yours, and it keeps a link to the original. Cloning is free. The answer is the copy as Get a skill shows it, plus cloned_from, the slug of the original. The copy has its own slug. Run it with that slug, for example with Run a skill and wait. A skill you may not see answers 404. You run a public skill only after you clone it, over the API and from an AI assistant. A run of the original returns 403 clone_required. See MCP tools for the assistant’s steps. Needs skills:invoke or skills:write. A key with neither gets 403. MCP tool: clone_skill. To clone in the app instead, see Use the marketplace.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API key with the vd_sk_ prefix, as Authorization: Bearer vd_sk_.... Create keys in Settings → API Keys.

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

Any unique string (such as your order id). Resending the same request with the same key within 24 hours returns the first answer (with Idempotent-Replayed: true) and does nothing twice; the same key with a different request is a 422 idempotency_key_reused.

Required string length: 1 - 255
