Agent Plugins 1.0.0 is now available. It is an open, vendor-neutral standard for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into portable plugins. Compatible agent clients can discover and load them.

Agent Plugins defines a common format: a root `plugin.json`

manifest, plus fixed locations for portable components. Each client keeps control of installation, distribution, policy, user experience, and client-specific capabilities.

At launch, Agent Plugins is supported across the following clients:

ChatGPT and Codex

Cursor

GitHub Copilot

Kiro

VS Code
