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
versionfield with$schemaURI (https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json) - replace
filesarray andpackageobject with a flat single-artifact model: each skill entry now hastype("skill-md"or"archive"),url, anddigest digestis 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
