The official specification repository for the Agent Skills open standard β the SKILL.md format that powers cross-platform AI agent skill interoperability. Maintained by the agentskills organization, this repo defines how skills should be structured, what metadata is required, and how agents should discover and invoke skills. If you're building skills for distribution, this is the authoritative reference. The standard is now adopted by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools.

Maintained by the agentskills organization, this repo defines how skills should be structured, what metadata is required, and how agents should discover and invoke skills. If you're building skills for distribution, this is the authoritative reference. The standard is now adopted by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Cursor agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Agent Skills Open Standard as its underlying capability.
Agent Skills Open Standard works across Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. This makes it especially practical for teams and individuals working with standard and specification. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Agent Skills Open Standard once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Cursor for focused sessions or Claude Code for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Getting started with Agent Skills Open Standard takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/agentskills-spec/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/agentskills-spec/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/agentskills-spec` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.
