Anthropic Makes Agent Skills Open Standard

Anthropic PBC said today it is making its Agent Skills specification an open standard and adding organization-wide management for Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers. The update, following Skills' October launch, includes a simplified quick-create flow and a partner skills directory featuring Atlassian, Canva, Notion, Figma, Cloudflare, Stripe and Zapier, aiming to boost agent interoperability and enterprise integrations.

- 2Establishes interoperability by building on Model Context Protocol momentum and Linux Foundation stewardship
- 3Enables enterprises to centrally manage and integrate partner-built Skills across Claude Team and Enterprise plans
