Anthropic donates the Agent Skills open standard to the Linux Foundation’s Agentic AI Foundation, after 70+ agent platforms adopted it with 1M skills published and nearly 280M installs
On 2026-10-22 Anthropic said it is donating Agent Skills, the open standard that teaches agents a task through a folder with a SKILL.md file, to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, the same neutral home it gave MCP. The donation covers the Agent Skills name and logo, the GitHub organization and the agentskills.io domain. Anthropic says more than 70 agent platforms, including ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and VS Code, have integrated the standard since December 2025, with 1 million skills published and nearly 280 million installs. Engineers from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and others will maintain it as individuals.

Android Studio Rabbit 2 goes stable with Bring Your Own Agent: 40+ coding agents including Claude Agent, Codex and Antigravity via the open ACP
On Oct 28, the day of Android Dev Summit, Google shipped Android Studio Rabbit 2 (2026.2.2) to the stable channel. The headline change is that Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA) moves from its September Canary preview to a stable feature: developers can plug any Agent Client Protocol (ACP) compatible coding agent into the IDE agent window. Google says more than 40 are available, including Anthropic Claude Agent, OpenAI Codex, JetBrains Junie and Google Antigravity, and users can sign in with personal or enterprise plans. The release also adds an agent skills manager, AI Change Review and agent-assisted LeakCanary fixes.

SkillSeek Solves Marketplace-Scale Agent Skill Retrieval: Two-Stage IR with MCP Slashes Cost by 46% Over LLM Loops
Anthropic's Agent Skills (packaged into SKILL.md directories) encapsulate procedural know-how for LLM agents, with open aggregations expanding beyond 230,000 skills. While prior literature relied on expensive LLM-mediated loops within the agent decision process, SkillSeek introduces a two-stage IR pipeline (BGE-base bi-encoder + small cross-encoder) exposed via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Evaluated across 89 SkillsBench tasks on OpenHands, SkillSeek matches or exceeds LLM-mediated retrieval loops while slashing per-trial spend from $51.30 to $27.54 (a 46.3% reduction).
