Anthropic makes Skills an open standard Skills—a capability that allows users to teach Claude repeatable workflows—was first introduced in October, and now the company is making it an open standard. “Like MCP, we believe skills should be portable across tools and platforms—the same skill should work whether you’re using Claude or other AI platforms,” the company wrote in a blog post. Additionally, the company announced a directory of pre-built skills from companies like Notion, Canva, Figma, and Atlassian. Other new features, which vary by plan, include the ability to provision skills from admin settings and easier methods for creating and editing skills.

Yet despite these limitations, enterprises are making real, operational progress, not theoretical claims. They are learning, shaping patterns, and validating what will become the backbone of agentic systems for years to come. From Glue Code to Repeatable Patterns The first major stride is the shift from improvisation to repeatabl...
