Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to the Agentic AI Foundation
Understand the event
Anthropic announced it is donating the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, with a stated commitment to keeping it open, community-driven and vendor-neutral. The foundation also received Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP). Boris Cherny said Agent Skills began as an experiment in Claude Code and that adoption across the industry prompted the donation. In its announcement, @ClaudeDevs said more than 70 agent platforms had integrated the standard since December 2025, including ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and VS Code. Anthropic co-founded AAIF with Block and OpenAI.
