## Create an asset upload

`$ flora assets create`

**post** `/assets`

Creates an asset from a source string. Pass source="signed-url" to reserve a direct upload URL, or pass an allowlisted HTTPS URL for server-side fetch. Mutating public API requests support an optional Idempotency-Key header for client retries; duplicate keys within two hours return idempotency_duplicate.

- `--workspace-id: string`

  Workspace identifier. Use the public API ID returned by list workspaces; it must start with ws_.
