### Skill content scanning

from line 44
   Never deploy Skills from untrusted sources without a full audit. A malicious Skill can direct Claude to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive files, or transmit data externally. Treat Skill installation with the same rigor as installing software on production systems.
 </Warning>
 
+### Skill content scanning
+
+Claude Enterprise organizations can turn on automated security scanning for custom Skills in claude.ai and Claude Cowork. The feature is in beta. After you turn on **Skill and plugin security scanning** at [claude.ai > Organization settings > Skills](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/skills), Skills that members then upload or edit in claude.ai or Cowork are scanned for signs of malicious behavior, such as hidden code execution, sending your data to an outside service, or instructions that tamper with Claude's safeguards. A Skill that fails the scan, or whose scan hasn't finished, is blocked from use. A Skill that passes with a warning stays usable behind a caution notice. If scanning is available to your organization, turn it on. It complements, but doesn't replace, the [review checklist](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/enterprise#review-checklist).
+
+Scanning doesn't cover the Claude API. Skills you upload through the Skills API (`/v1/skills`), including from the Claude Console, aren't scanned, so for API deployments, rely on the review checklist and [version pinning](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/enterprise#versioning-strategy). Scanning also doesn't apply to Skills that were already in your organization when you turned it on, or to organizations with certain data handling configurations, such as customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK), zero data retention (ZDR), or HIPAA readiness. For setup steps, exclusions, and result types, see [Get started with skill and plugin scanning](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15927065-get-started-with-skill-and-plugin-scanning) in the Claude Help Center.

 ## Evaluating Skills before deployment
 
 Skills can degrade agent performance if they trigger incorrectly, conflict with other Skills, or provide poor instructions. Require evaluation before any production deployment.
from line 164
 
 ### Versioning strategy
 
-* **Production:** Pin Skills to specific versions. Run the full evaluation suite before promoting a new version. Treat every update as a new deployment requiring full security review.
+* **Production:** Pin Skills to specific versions. If you omit `version`, requests use the latest version, so a new version uploaded by anyone in the workspace immediately changes what production agents run. Run the full evaluation suite before promoting a new version. Treat every update as a new deployment requiring full security review.
 * **Development and testing:** Use latest versions to validate changes before production promotion.
 * **Rollback plan:** Maintain the previous version as a fallback. If a new version fails evaluations in production, revert to the last known-good version immediately.
 * **Integrity verification:** Compute checksums of reviewed Skills and verify them at deployment time. Use signed commits in your Skill repository to ensure provenance.

 ## Managing custom Skills
 
+<Warning id="workspace-scoped-access">
+  **Custom Skills are accessible to your entire workspace, not scoped to an end user, conversation, or session.** Any API key in the same workspace can read, invoke, and delete every custom Skill uploaded there, and all of your keys share your organization's Default Workspace unless you have assigned them to separate [workspaces](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/workspaces#api-keys-and-resource-scoping).
+
+  If you are building a multi-tenant platform on the Skills API, create a separate [workspace](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/workspaces) for each tenant. The workspace is the isolation boundary for custom Skills, so a workspace per tenant gives each tenant's Skills hard isolation from every other tenant. Each organization can have up to 100 workspaces by default (see [How workspaces work](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/workspaces#how-workspaces-work)); if you need more for tenant isolation, contact your account team.
+</Warning>
+
 ### Creating a Skill
 
 A Skill bundle is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file at the top level with `name` and `description` YAML frontmatter, plus any supporting scripts or resources. See [Get started with Agent Skills in the API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/quickstart) to author one, and the **Requirements** list following the examples for the full constraints.
from line 3943
 
 The SDK tabs in this section show the `container` value to include in a Messages request. The cURL and CLI tabs show the full request.
 
-**For production:** pin a specific version, so Skill updates never change your deployed behavior. The version ID comes from the create-version response in [Versioning](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/skills-guide#versioning) or from the [List Skill Versions API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/skills/versions/list). The ID is always a string: quote epoch-timestamp IDs in JSON or YAML.
+**For production:** pin a specific version, so Skill updates never change your deployed behavior.

 Agent Skills are not covered by ZDR arrangements. Skill definitions and execution data are retained according to Anthropic's standard data retention policy.

+## Audit logging
+
+If your organization has the [Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-api) enabled, its [Activity Feed](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-activity-feed) records the creation and deletion of Skills and Skill versions made with a Claude API key or from the Claude Console. Operations that occur while the Compliance API is off are not recorded and cannot be recovered later, so [set up the Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-api-access) before you rely on this audit trail.

 * **Data exposure:** Skills with access to sensitive data could be designed to leak information to external systems
 * **Treat like installing software:** Be especially careful when integrating Skills into production systems with access to sensitive data or critical operations
