Delete a skill
⚠️
Preview — this feature is being built; the design below is the spec.
DELETE https://app.syntic.ai/v1/skills/{skill_id}Delete a skill and all its versions. Requests and agents that still reference it fail with 404 skill_not_found, so remove it from agent definitions first.
For how this fits into a full workflow, see Agent skills.
