AWS、OpenAI等联合推出Agent Plugins开放打包规范

Skills and MCP servers are making agents more capable, and plugins give developers a way to package those capabilities so they can be shared and reused. But today, every agent product expects a different manifest, folder structure, and setup process. That's why contributors from AWS, Cursor, GitHub, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel came together to create Agent Plugins, an open, vendor-neutral way to package extensions for agents.

One format for people building plugins, and one predictable way for agent tools to find them. At its simplest, an agent plugin is just a folder, with a manifest called plugin.json at the root. This first release focuses on two things developers already use, agent skills for reusable instructions and workflows, and MCP servers, which connect agents to tools and data. You can put these resources in the standard locations, and the same package is much easier to support across different products.

For plugin authors, the payoff is less platform-specific glue and one version format to build against. Agent products can support skills, MCPs, or both, and extend the format without changing its portable core. This spec standardizes packaging and discovery, not marketplaces, permissions, or runtimes. Agent Plugins is open and ready to build with. Package your capability, add support in your product, and go check it out yourself.
