FAQ

Questions about Delete Skill.

What does the Delete Skill action do in Anthropic?
Deletes a custom Claude Skill by ID. The skill is removed from your workspace and can't be referenced in future Messages API calls.
What inputs does Delete Skill require?
Required: Skill ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Anthropic returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Delete Skill support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Skill inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Anthropic's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
