AI skills you write once may now work across more assistants
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, says it is giving Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation, an independent group. Skills are saved instruction packages that teach an AI assistant how to handle a specific task. Anthropic says more than 70 tools, including ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, already support the format.
A shared format run by a neutral group raises the odds that a skill you write today keeps working when you switch assistants. If you're getting into tech, this is a concept worth learning early. If you run your own business, it points to saving a repeated workflow, like a booking reply, so the assistant follows it the same way every time.
Worth a few minutes if you already lean on an AI assistant for the same tasks over and over, since skills are becoming a portable habit. If you only use AI for the occasional question, there is nothing to act on yet.
