Details
Agent Plugins 1.0.0 has been released. Agent Plugins is an open, vendor-neutral standard that bundles Agent Skills and MCP servers, which extend AI agents, into a single deployable plugin format.
Plugins use a root plugin.json manifest and a defined directory structure. Clients find Agent Skills in skills/ and MCP server configurations in mcp.json, and can support either one or both components. Components are validated independently, so an invalid component does not disable the other.
Version 1 includes only Agent Skills and MCP servers, which have established specifications and ecosystems, within the standard scope. Commands, hooks, agents, etc. are left to clients, and client-specific features and files are separated via namespace extensions to avoid hindering the evolution of the common format.
