StudioAnthropic donates the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation
Original title: Donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation
Anthropic announced it is donating the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, committing to keep it open and community-driven. AAIF was co-founded by Anthropic with Block and OpenAI last year and already hosts the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Author Simon Willison noted he predicted the move last December, when Anthropic first called Skills an "open standard", and says he located that post by prompting Claude via his datasette-mcp plugin to search his blog.
The post traces how the Agent Skills standard moved to the AAIF, with the MCP precedent helping readers understand the foundation's role in hosting such standards.
