Vercel announced Agent Plugins 1.0.0, an open, vendor-neutral standard for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into distributable plugins. The format defines a directory structure with a plugin.json manifest and fixed locations for components, leaving client-specific behavior to each client. The specification was refined collaboratively with representatives from AWS, Anysphere, GitHub, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel, and is supported at launch by ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, and VS Code.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-agent-plugins:

> Agent Plugins gives compatible clients a common format: a directory with a plugin.json manifest and fixed locations for its components. The format is intentionally small and easy to implement, and it leaves installation, distribution, policy, user experience, and client-specific capabilities to each client.
