The Agent Plugins Specification 1.0.0 has been published as an open, vendor-neutral standard for packaging reusable AI agent extensions into distributable plugins, covering both Agent Skills and MCP servers. A conforming plugin is a directory containing a plugin.json manifest (referencing the schema at agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json) plus skill directories with SKILL.md files carrying name and description front matter; how a client surfaces skills to users or models is left outside the specification. The project repository at github.com/agentplugins/agent-plugins-spec publishes the versioned spec, a plugin manifest schema, an MCP configuration schema, a technical charter and governance documents, and lists 79 commits, 837 stars and 49 forks.
