Import a Skill archive

Create a Skill from an application/x-tar archive in the Agent Skills directory shape, storing the SKILL.md text verbatim. Import rejects the archive when its frontmatter name does not match the skill directory. Accepts an Idempotency-Key.

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.
