Build a plugin once and use it across compatible agent clients. Introducing Agen

Terms in this piece · Glossary

AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
MCP — The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.
agent skill — A reusable instruction file that teaches an agent how to do one job well — the procedure, the tools, and what counts as done.

Why it matters

A or configuration authored once can now ship to Codex, Cursor, Copilot and VS Code without per-client repackaging.
