Anthropic donates the Agent Skills open standard to the Agentic AI Foundation
- Announcement time
- Review updated
Anthropic donated the Agent Skills open standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), which also hosts MCP. Existing skills and licenses are unchanged, and anyone can use or contribute to the standard without joining AAIF. Engineers from Anthropic, Earendil (Pi), Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and OpenCode will form its Technical Steering Committee. Its first priorities are versioned releases, a formal proposal process and security guidance for skill authors and users. Anthropic says more than 70 agent platforms have adopted the standard, including ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and VS Code.
