Anthropic announced that Agent Skills is moving to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation. The donation covers the standard’s name and logo, GitHub organization and agentskills.io domain. According to the announcement, engineers from multiple companies will maintain the standard as individuals, with David Soria Parra and Mahesh Murag as Lead Maintainers. Anthropic says users can continue using and contributing to the standard without joining AAIF. Versioned releases, a formal proposal process and security guidance are described as a proposed roadmap, rather than completed work.
