Get up to speed
On October 22, 2026, Anthropic announced that it would donate the Agent Skills open standard, which it led in developing to provide expertise and workflows for AI agents, to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation. The standard's name, logo, GitHub organization, and agentskills.io domain were also transferred simultaneously. The standard will subsequently be jointly maintained by engineers from companies such as Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI in their personal capacities, with David Soria Parra and Mahesh Murag serving as lead maintainers.
