# Download Skill Version Content

`$ ant beta:skills:versions download`

**GET** `/v1/skills/{skill_id}/versions/{version}/content`

Download a skill version's content as a zip archive.

## Parameters

- `--skill-id: string` (path parameter)

  Unique identifier for the skill.

  The format and length of IDs may change over time.

- `--version: string` (path parameter)

  Identifies the skill version by its version ID.

  Requests carrying the `skills-2025-10-02` beta header address versions by their Unix epoch timestamp instead (e.g., "1759178010641129").

- `--beta: optional array of AnthropicBeta` (header parameter)

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

- `--workspace-id: optional string` (header parameter)

  Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

  Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `unnamed_schema_2: file path`

## Example

```bash
ant beta:skills:versions download \
  --api-key my-anthropic-api-key \
  --skill-id skill_id \
  --version version
```
