Anthropic and OpenAI donate Agent Skills and Open Responses to Linux Foundation AAIF

What happened.Anthropic donated the open Agent Skills specification and OpenAI contributed Open Responses to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation during AGNTCon North America. The contributions expand the foundation to ten hosted open-source artificial intelligence projects.

Why it matters.Tooling for autonomous agents was splintering across incompatible runtime formats and closed provider interfaces. Donating core schemas to a neutral foundation gives engineering teams an open baseline that prevents vendor lock-in.
