Anthropic donates Agent Skills standard to AAIF

Anthropic said it is donating Agent Skills, the open standard for specialized agent knowledge and workflows, to the Agentic AI Foundation, a move that shifts stewardship of the system to a neutral body under the Linux Foundation. The company said the standard has already been integrated by more than 70 agent platforms and has seen 1 million skills published and nearly 280 million installed. In its Oct. 22, 2026 announcement, Anthropic said Agent Skills consists of a folder containing a SKILL.md file, plus scripts or reference material that help an AI agent complete a specific task or domain.
