# Get Skill Usage

GET /v1/organizations/analytics/skills

Get per-skill usage for a given day, with cursor-based pagination.

Returns skill usage metrics for the organization, sorted by skill name. Use group_by[] to break usage out per member, per RBAC group, or per product surface, and filter[] to scope results; the parameter descriptions list the supported dimensions. Available to organizations on a Claude Enterprise plan. Requires an API key with the read:analytics scope.

# Query parameters

date: optional string

UTC date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The day to get skill usage for. Data is typically available with a 1-day lag (varies by query; the error for a too-recent date names the latest available day) and may be revised by a few percent over the following days. No earlier than 2026-01-01.

format: date
ending_date: optional string

UTC date in YYYY-MM-DD format. End of the date range (exclusive); only valid with starting_date. Data is typically available with a 1-day lag (varies by query; the error for a too-recent date names the latest available day), so this can be at most today — which is also the default when omitted, resolved once when the first page is served and reused for the rest of the pagination sequence. At most 366 days after starting_date.

format: date
filter: optional array of string

Filters as dimension:value, e.g. filter[]=rbac_group_id:{id}. Repeat the param for OR within a dimension and across dimensions for AND. Supported dimensions on this endpoint: product, rbac_group_id, share_status, skill_name, user_id. Value forms: product is one of chat, claude_code, cowork, or office_agent; rbac_group_id takes the tagged id (rbac_group_..., as emitted in responses and by the spend-limits API) or a bare group UUID, and matches users who held the group at any point during each covered UTC day (time-of-usage attribution); share_status is one of organization, private, or public; skill_name matches case-insensitively; user_id takes a tagged user id (user_...), as emitted in responses. An unsupported dimension returns 400. At most 100 entries.

maxItems: 100
group_by: optional array of "product" or "rbac_group_id" or "user_id"

Dimensions to break results out by (e.g. group_by[]=user_id). Supported on this endpoint: product, rbac_group_id, user_id. Grouped rows carry the requested dimension values as additional fields and paginate like ungrouped responses via next_page; an unsupported dimension returns 400. rbac_group_id attributes a user to every group they held at any point during each covered UTC day, so grouped rows are not an exclusive partition and can sum above org-level totals. At most 100 entries.

maxItems: 100
- "product"
- "rbac_group_id"
- "user_id"
limit: optional number

Number of results per page (1-1000, default 100).

minimum: 1, maximum: 1000
order: optional "asc" or "desc"

Sort direction: asc or desc. Defaults to asc for the endpoint's sort column and to desc when order_by names a metric (a top-N ranking). Applies to order_by, or to the endpoint's default sort field when order_by is omitted.
- "asc"
- "desc"
order_by: optional string

Sort field. Restricted to the endpoint's sort column plus its rankable metrics (metrics default to descending; a few metrics rank in date-range mode only, per the endpoint's documented orderable set).
page: optional string

Opaque cursor from a previous response's next_page field.
starting_date: optional string

UTC date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Start of a date range (inclusive). Enables rollup mode: one row per entity aggregated over the whole range — addable counters are summed across days, and a distinct count is never summed where summing could double-count (a field's range value is recomputed exactly over the window, approximate via HLL with typical error under 2%, null, or — for the creation-event counts, whose per-day values cannot overlap — a per-day sum that is itself exact; each field's own description says which). Use either date or starting_date, not both. Data is typically available with a 1-day lag (varies by query; the error for a too-recent date names the latest available day) and may be revised by a few percent over the following days. No earlier than 2026-01-01.

BetaSkillUsage object

Response for GET /v1/organizations/analytics/skills.
- data: array of object
  - chat_metrics: object
    
    Claude.ai activity metrics for a single skill on a given day.
    - distinct_conversation_skill_used_count: number or null
      
      Number of distinct conversations in which the skill was used. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted. Approximate (HLL, typical error <2%) in date-range mode. Null on aggregated rows where a distinct count cannot be computed.
  - claude_code_metrics: object
    
    Claude Code activity metrics for a single skill on a given day.
    - distinct_session_skill_used_count: number or null
      
      Number of distinct Claude Code sessions in which the skill was used. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted. Approximate (HLL, typical error <2%) in date-range mode. Null on aggregated rows where a distinct count cannot be computed.

    Cowork activity metrics for a single skill on a given day.
    - distinct_session_skill_used_count: number or null
      
      Number of distinct Cowork sessions in which the skill was used. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted. Approximate (HLL, typical error <2%) in date-range mode. Null on aggregated rows where a distinct count cannot be computed.
  - distinct_user_count: number
    
    Number of distinct users who used the skill on the requested day, or, in date-range mode, over the requested window — recomputed as an exact distinct count over the window's per-member daily rows, never a sum of per-day values. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted.
  - office_metrics: object
    
    Office Agent activity metrics for a single skill on a given day, broken out by Office product.
    - excel: BetaSkillOfficeProductMetrics
      
      Office Agent activity metrics for a single skill on a given day within one Office product.
      - distinct_session_skill_used_count: number or null
        
        Number of distinct Office Agent sessions in which the skill was used. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted. Approximate (HLL, typical error <2%) in date-range mode. Null on aggregated rows where a distinct count cannot be computed.

    - word: BetaSkillOfficeProductMetrics
      
      Office Agent activity metrics for a single skill on a given day within one Office product.
  - skill_name: string
    
    Name of the skill
  - attributed_list_price: optional string or null
    
    List-price (rate-card) value of the member requests attributed to this skill, as a decimal string in the minor unit of currency (cents for USD), from Claude Code, Cowork, and Office Agent request-level attribution — the value of requests that involved the skill, not the skill's incremental cost. Unlike estimated_overage_spend this reflects usage value regardless of how it was funded — seat-covered usage counts — but it is undiscounted and does not tie to billed spend or the organization's spend reporting. claude.ai chat usage carries no request-level attribution and contributes nothing: the field is null on chat product rows and on office_agent product cuts dated before 2026-06-18 (the Office Agent attribution data-start), and on ungrouped rows it covers the Claude Code + Cowork + Office Agent share only (null when no attributable usage exists). Also null under the same conditions as estimated_overage_spend (spend reporting not enabled for this organization, office_agent product cuts before the 2026-06-18 data-start). "0" means attributable usage existed but none was attributed to this skill. Addable across days: date-range rollup mode returns the window's sum. On group_by[] and filter[] shapes both amounts can total below the ungrouped value for the same skill over the same date or range: spend attributed to a member–skill pair with no counted usage on that day is excluded from those cuts.
  - currency: optional "USD" or null
    
    Currency for this row's monetary fields (estimated_overage_spend and attributed_list_price), as an uppercase ISO-4217 code. Always "USD" when either amount is populated; null whenever both amounts are null.
  - enable_count: optional number or null
    
    Distinct accounts that enabled this skill on the requested day (claude.ai only — the skill analog of plugin install_count). The count is org-wide: null when enable reporting is not enabled for this organization, or when the request scopes to user_id / rbac_group_id / product via group_by[] or filter[] (an org-wide count would be misleading on per-cut rows). A distinct count, not an event count: summing across days double-counts members who enable the skill on more than one day, so it is also null in date-range rollup mode (starting_date/ending_date).
  - estimated_overage_spend: optional string or null
    
    Estimated overage spend attributed to this skill, as a decimal string in the minor unit of currency (cents for USD; "1250" is $12.50, fractional cents possible) — an allocation of each member's daily post-discount, pre-credit metered overage spend (the same cost basis as the organization's spend reporting and the Cost & Usage API, so per-skill figures are directly comparable; spend with no skill attribution — including any member-day without skill invocations — is not represented, so skill rows sum to at most those totals) across the skills the member used. Overage only: usage covered by included seat allowances bills nothing and allocates $0 here — see attributed_list_price for the funding-independent usage-value companion. Claude Code, Cowork, and Office Agent spend use request-level skill attribution; claude.ai chat spend is approximated proportionally to skill-invoking messages. An estimate, not a billing number — and the cost of the requests/messages that involved the skill, not the skill's incremental cost (the same request would still have cost something without the skill active). "0" means no overage spend was attributed; null when spend reporting is not enabled for this organization, on office_agent product cuts dated before 2026-06-18 (the Office Agent attribution data-start). Addable across days: date-range rollup mode (starting_date/ending_date) returns the window's sum. With group_by[]=user_id each row carries the user's own attributed spend. On group_by[] and filter[] shapes both amounts can total below the ungrouped value for the same skill over the same date or range: spend attributed to a member–skill pair with no counted usage on that day is excluded from those cuts.
  - invocation_count: optional number or null
    
    Total number of times this skill was invoked on the requested day (the skill analog of plugin invocation_count). Unlike distinct_user_count — which answers '# of users' — this is the true '# of uses'. A skill counts as used only when it is explicitly activated — the model (or the user, via the skill's slash command) invokes it, reading its instructions into context as part of that activation. Skills that are merely installed or listed as available, or whose content reaches the context without an activation (preloaded, hook-injected, or read as a plain file), are not counted. Null when invocation reporting is not enabled for this organization. Sum across a date range for total uses in the window — date-range rollup mode (starting_date/ending_date) returns this sum directly.
  - product: optional string or null
    
    Product that produced this row's activity: one of chat, claude_code, cowork, or office_agent (the canonical Cost & Usage product naming; an office_agent row's per-surface breakdown is in its office_metrics). On /plugins only cowork and claude_code occur (the only surfaces with plugin attribution); on /artifacts only chat, claude_code, and cowork occur (the surfaces that create artifacts); /apps/chat/projects does not support the product dimension (a product entry in group_by[] or filter[] there is rejected). Present only when the request grouped by product.
  - rbac_group_id: optional string or null
    
    Tagged RBAC group identifier (rbac_group_...), matching the spend-limits API spelling. Present only when the request grouped by rbac_group_id.
  - rbac_group_name: optional string or null
    
    Resolved RBAC group display name, alongside rbac_group_id when name resolution is available. Null if the group has been deleted or its name could not be resolved; rbac_group_id remains the stable key.
  - share_status: optional "organization" or "private" or "public" or null
    
    Skill share status (claude.ai only): one of private, organization, or public. Null for skills used only in Claude Code or Office (no per-skill share-status concept) and when share-status reporting is not yet available for the organization. Filterable via filter[]=share_status:{value}.
    - "organization"
    - "private"
    - "public"
  - skill_display_name: optional string or null
    
    Human-readable display name for rows whose skill_name is an opaque skill id (user/organization skill types and plugin-delivered skills — user-defined names are withheld from the analytics pipeline). Organization-shared skills and skills delivered by the organization's own plugins (its plugin marketplaces and its library) resolve; plugin skill names are shown without their 'plugin:' prefix. The literal 'unknown' bucket row gets a fixed 'Unknown skill' label. Null for private (user-defined) skills and members' personal-plugin skills — those names are not disclosed to analytics-key holders — and for Anthropic-provided plugin skills (not resolved), and null when skill_name is already a display name, when the skill or plugin was deleted, or when display-name resolution is not enabled for this organization.
  - user_id: optional string or null
    
    Tagged user identifier (e.g. user_...). Present only when the request grouped by user_id.
- next_page: string or null
  
  Opaque cursor for the next page, or null if no more results
