Export a Skill archive

Download the current version of one Skill as a deterministic application/x-tar archive in the Agent Skills directory shape: SKILL.md first, then supporting files sorted by path. The archive is the open-standard interchange format, so a skill authored elsewhere round-trips through import.

Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: skill-delivery. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
