Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Anthropic has donated the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a Linux‑Foundation‑managed entity co‑founded by Anthropic and other companies. The donation aims to preserve the standard’s open, community‑driven, and vendor‑neutral nature. The AAIF was created to ensure that the Agent Skills specification continues to evolve within an open community rather than being controlled by a single vendor. By transferring stewardship to the foundation, Anthropic seeks to maintain transparency and broad participation in the development of agentic AI capabilities.
