Register a repository in the integration registry.

POST
/repositories
curl --request POST \
--url https://shiftagent.example.com/repositories \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "name": "field-ops", "repo_url": "https://git.example.com/agent-skills/field-ops.git", "branch": "main", "provider": "generic", "credential_id": "crd_01hzx8gitmain" }'

Registers a git repository as a top-level, pre-authenticated registry entry (scoped to the integration root, not tenant-owned). One-time setup: register a credential (createCredential), then the repository referencing it; afterwards attach it to tenants with attachTenantRepository.

Registration kicks off an asynchronous sync that scans the repository for skills (sync.state: pending → syncing → ready, or error with sync.error set). Skills become visible via listRepositorySkills once ready.

name is unique across the registry: a duplicate responds 409 name-conflict with conflicting_resource_id — fetch that repository and continue (heals crashed setup runs).

Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Optional idempotency key (any unique string, e.g. a UUID; max 255 chars). Responses are cached 24h per (key principal, operation, key); replays return the original status and body with Idempotency-Replayed: true. Reusing a key with a different payload responds 409 idempotency-key-conflict.

Media type application/json

Registration body for registerRepository.

object
name
required

Registry-unique name (409 name-conflict if taken).

string
<= 255 characters

string format: uri
branch

Branch to scan for skills.

string
default: main
provider

Git hosting flavor.

string
default: generic
Allowed values: github gitlab bitbucket azure_devops generic
credential_id

Credential registered via createCredential. Omit for public repositories.

string
/^crd_[A-Za-z0-9]+$/

"provider": "generic",
"credential_id": "crd_01hzx8gitmain"

Repository registered; sync started.

Media type application/json

Top-level, pre-authenticated registry entry for a git repository. The repository dictates which skills exist; it is attached to tenants and overridable down the resolution cascade.

Missing or invalid credentials — no bearer token, an unknown/revoked sk_int_ key, or an expired platform JWT.

Media type application/problem+json
