# Create a managed repo from the platform template

`POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/repos`

Creates a private GitHub repo from the Wiblo template under the managed org, registers it in the workspace registry with the given display name, applies default-branch protection (best-effort), and returns the row with its clone URL — immediately natively cloneable via the WIBLO-154 credential helper. The provider repo name stays an internal Wiblo handle; the display name is the only user input. Agents may call this with their run token (the self-service create lane). Per-user rate-limited at 10/60s in its own bucket (repo creation is expensive host-side).
