我们致力于保持 Agent Skills 的开放性、社区驱动性和供应商中立性。今天，我们将该标准捐赠给 Linux Foundation 旗下的 Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF)，我们去年与 Block 和 OpenAI 共同创立了该基金会，并向其捐赠了 Model Context Protocol (MCP)。AAIF 将为该标准提供一个中立的归属地，确保社区对 Agent Skills 的未来发展方向拥有发言权。
来自 Anthropic、Google、OpenAI 和其他公司的工程师将以个人身份维护该标准，David Soria Parra 和 Mahesh Murag 担任首席维护者。
我们提议从涵盖版本化发布、正式提案流程以及为编写和安装技能的提供安全指导的路线图开始。与 MCP 一样，该项目将继续优先考虑社区意见和透明决策。您可以加入项目的 Discord 以对拟议的规范变更提供反馈。

Today, we’re donating Agent Skills, the open standard that gives AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows, to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF). More than 70 agent platforms, including ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and VS Code, have integrated Agent Skills since we published the standard in December 2025.
Agent interoperability through simplicity
A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file that teaches an agent a specific task or domain, along with any scripts or reference material it needs. We developed skills while working on Claude Code. It handled general knowledge work well, but often lacked the procedural knowledge that real business tasks need. Within weeks of our October 2025 launch, developers published thousands of skills on GitHub and wrote loaders for Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode. We then published Agent Skills as an open standard, under its own GitHub organization and domain, so any agent could use it. So far, 1 million skills have been published and nearly 280 million installed.
Donating Agent Skills to AAIF
We’re committed to keeping Agent Skills open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral. Today, we are donating the standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, which we co-founded with Block and OpenAI last year, and to which we donated the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The AAIF will provide a neutral home to the standard going forward, ensuring the community has a say in where Agent Skills go next.
We are donating the Agent Skills name and logo, the GitHub organization, and the agentskills.io domain. You can continue to use the standard or contribute to it without joining the AAIF.
Engineers from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and other companies will maintain the standard as individuals, with David Soria Parra and Mahesh Murag as Lead Maintainers.
What comes next
We’ve proposed starting with a roadmap covering versioned releases, a formal proposal process, and security guidance for people who write and install skills. As with MCP, the project will continue to prioritize community input and transparent decision-making. You can join the project’s Discord to give feedback on proposed specification changes.
Thank you to the developers who built with Agent Skills from the start, and to the teams who brought skills into their products. Read the specification at agentskills.io and join the discussion on GitHub.
