Agent Plugins is an open, vendor-neutral specification (v1.0.0) defining a portable package format for bundling Agent Skills and MCP servers into distributable plugins for AI agent clients. The repository hosts the versioned spec, JSON schemas, and governance documents.

Use cases

• package agent skills into a distributable plugin
• bundle MCP servers in a portable format
• make one plugin work across multiple AI agent clients
• implement a client that loads agent plugins
• avoid rewriting plugins for each agent client

When to choose

• you author agent extensions and want one portable package format
• you build an agent client and want standards-based plugin discovery and loading
• you need a vendor-neutral interoperability floor for skills and MCP servers

When to avoid

• you need a runtime or executable tool rather than a specification
• you need client-specific features like permissions, installation, or UX that the spec leaves to clients
• you require a mature ecosystem with many published plugins already
