Abstract

This document defines a mechanism for discovering [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) using the `.well-known` URI path prefix as specified in [RFC 8615](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8615). Skills are currently scattered across GitHub repositories, documentation sites, and other sources. A well-known URI provides a predictable location for agents and tools to discover skills published by an organization or project.

Changelog

v0.2.0

  • rename well-known URI from /.well-known/skills/ to /.well-known/agent-skills/
  • replace version field with $schema URI (https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json)
  • replace files array and package object with a flat single-artifact model: each skill entry now has type ("skill-md" or "archive"), url, and digest
  • digest is now the SHA-256 of the single artifact (not a manifest-derived skill-level digest)
  • add archive safety guidance: path traversal, symlinks, decompression bombs
  • add URL resolution semantics per RFC 3986
  • add RFC 2119 / RFC 8174 keyword conventions
  • strengthen
