Organization skill upload limit of 50 is undocumented and too low
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 17, 2026 by trevhud Closed Mar 17, 2026
Description
When uploading organization skills via the claude.ai internal API (/api/organizations/{org_id}/skills/upload-org-skill), we hit an undocumented hard cap at 50 skills:
{
"type": "error",
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "Organization skill limit of 50 skills reached",
"details": {
"error_visibility": "user_facing",
"error_code": "upload_skill_limit_reached"
}
}
}
Problem
- The limit is not documented anywhere — not in the Skills API reference, the enterprise skills guide, or the help center article on org skills.
- 50 is too low for teams that build domain-specific skills. We have a ~15 person team using Claude across commercial ops, clinical operations, study delivery, and engineering. Each domain needs specialized skills (e.g., HubSpot marketing, HubSpot sales, Salesforce, pharma research, study setup, protocol generation, etc.). We hit 50 within a few weeks of adopting org skills.
- No way to increase the limit — there's no documented tier upgrade, enterprise flag, or support path to raise it.
Current workaround
Manually deleting less-used skills when we need to add new ones. This is not sustainable.
Request
- Document the limit so teams can plan around it
- Raise the limit — 50 is too low for organizations with multiple departments using Claude. 100-200 would be more reasonable.
- Provide a path to request increases for enterprise/teams customers
Environment
- Claude Teams plan
- Skills uploaded via the org skills API (not the public
/v1/skillsworkspace API, which seems to have a separate/higher limit) - Currently at exactly 50/50 org skills
