Introduced Agent Plugins 1.0.0, an open, vendor-neutral standard for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into distributable plugins. The format includes a `plugin.json` manifest and a defined directory structure for skills and MCP configurations, allowing for a common package for portable components. Clients can discover and load these components independently. The specification includes a namespaced extension mechanism for client-specific data and files. The project is a multi-vendor effort with initial support from major AI players.
