Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to Agentic AI Foundation
Anthropic has officially donated its Agent Skills open standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation to ensure community-driven and vendor-neutral governance. This follows Anthropic's co-founding of AAIF with Block and OpenAI and the previous donation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The move aims to unify agent skill specifications and foster ecosystem collaboration.

Donating Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation
News today from Anthropic:
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).
I'm pleased to note I called this one last December, when Anthropic first declared skills to be an "open standard":
I wouldn't be surprised to see this end up in the AAIF, recently the new home of the MCP specification.
Fun side note: since my blog content is available to Claude via the datasette-mcp plugin I found that post by prompting Claude to "Use simonwillison.net MCP to find if I ever talked about how I want skills to be donated to a standards body".
