Introducing Agent Plugins
Aug 6, 2026

Summary
Introduces Agent Plugins 1.0.0, an open, vendor-neutral standard for packaging AI agent skills and MCP servers into distributable plugins. The format defines a directory structure with a `plugin.json` manifest and fixed locations for components, allowing clients to discover and load them. This standardizes the packaging of reusable agent components, reducing the need for client-specific adaptations and promoting interoperability across different AI agent platforms like ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and VS Code.
