* docs: link Sam Morrow's Progressive Discovery in MCP (Part 2)
* docs: link Angie Jones's "Skills Over MCP" article
* docs: mark open-questions and experimental-findings as not actively maintained
* docs: soften approaches doc and mark SEP working draft as not actively maintained
The links pointed to anthropic-quickstarts, but the project lives at
github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp. Also corrects the author
attribution from Anthropic to Google (ChromeDevTools).
* Update documentation for Skills Extension SEP and related resources
- Revised links and descriptions in README.md to reflect the submitted Skills Extension SEP (PR #2640).
- Updated current status in approaches.md to indicate submission of the Skills Extension SEP.
- Clarified tracking information in open-questions.md regarding the Skills Extension SEP submission.
- Adjusted related work in related-work.md to include the Skills Extension SEP and mark a rejected proposal.
- Changed status in sep-draft-skills-extension.md to 'submitted' and updated author information.
- Enhanced skill-uri-scheme.md to indicate the incorporation of feedback into the submitted Skills Extension SEP.
* Move rejected SEP-2093 to the bottom of SEPs and Proposals table
Keeps the list active-proposals-first so readers aren't distracted by the
struck-out entry.

* Use SEP-2640 naming convention per MCP SEP guidelines
Per https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/sep-guidelines, a submitted
SEP is named "SEP-<PR-number>". Rename in-repo references from "PR #2640"
to "SEP-2640" and update the draft doc heading from the "SEP-0000"
placeholder to "SEP-2640".
Also mark Approach 1's SEP-2076 status as closed (2026-02-24, no sponsor
found); approaches.md still listed it as "Draft, seeking sponsor".

* Fix SEP-2076 closure rationale
Closure followed the WG's decision to first explore a convention-based
approach using existing primitives, not a sponsor issue.

README: move the Skills Extension SEP from the bottom of the Repository
Contents table to sit after Approaches, matching the narrative flow
(framing → options → proposal → supporting material).
related-work.md: lead the SEPs and Proposals table with SEP-2640 (this
WG's headline proposal), followed by the prerequisite PR #2527.

Signals that alternative proposals, decisions, implementations, and
other in-flight contributions are welcome — SEP-2640 is one direction,
not the only one.

* docs: transition from Interest Group to Working Group
Follow-up to modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#2586, which
converted the charter from IG to WG.
- Rename Interest Group → Working Group in headings and prose
- Update Discord (#skills-over-mcp-wg) and Discussions
(meeting-notes-skills-over-mcp-wg) references; channel renames
coordinated separately
- CONTRIBUTING.md: align meeting norms with MCP group governance
(7-day advance notice, meet.modelcontextprotocol.io) and rewrite
Decision-Making to reflect WG authority (lazy consensus → formal
vote → escalation), linking to the charter's Authority table
- Keep CODEOWNERS team at skills-over-mcp-ig pending access-repo
rename; TODO comment added
- decisions.md: update present-tense preamble, log the IG → WG
transition as a new ADR entry, and preserve historical entries

* docs(contributing): link to governance/charter instead of duplicating
Meetings and Decision-Making sections now point to the MCP group
governance doc and charter for canonical rules, keeping only the
repo- or group-specific bits (notes location, coordination
channels, outputs list). Also drops a leftover "rough consensus"
IG-era phrase in the Decision Log guidelines.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(codeowners): fix sentence fragment in default-owner comment
"Has day-to-day governance" read as an incomplete sentence and
overstated what CODEOWNERS actually encodes (review routing, not
governance). Replace with a direct one-liner.

* Reorganize related-work.md to separate IG member work from community and ecosystem
The flat implementations list mixed IG facilitator/participant work with
community adoptions and tangentially related ecosystem projects, making it
hard to see which implementations are actively shaping the group's direction.
Changes:
- Split "Implementations" into "IG Member Implementations", "Community
Implementations", and "Related Ecosystem Work" sections
- Add Organization column to IG member table for clearer attribution
- Add skillful-mcp (Kurtis Van Gent / Google Cloud) as IG member impl
- Update my-cool-proxy attribution to Jack Tysoe / Kong
- Split "External Resources" into "Specifications and Standards" and
"Background Reading"
- Move Cloudflare RFC from Open SEPs to Specifications (it's a published
spec, not a proposal to this group) and update to v0.2.0 with correct
path (/.well-known/agent-skills/)
- Update implementation notes with recent version/feature info
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Rename section header from "Community Implementations" to "Other Community Implementations" for clarity in related work documentation
* Fix my-cool-proxy attribution and move to community implementations
karashiiro (Kara) is not Jack Tysoe from Kong — incorrectly conflated
the two based on "MCP gateway" mention in meeting notes. Move
my-cool-proxy back to community implementations with correct author.
Also incorporates the section rename to "Other Community Implementations"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Move NimbleBrain to community implementations
NimbleBrain (Mathew Goldsborough) has one comment on the IG repo and was
referenced in the inaugural meeting notes, but hasn't attended meetings
or filed issues/PRs. Better categorized as a community implementation.
Kurtis Van Gent stays in IG member table — he's an MCP core maintainer.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Separate IG member work by alignment with core patterns
After reviewing the actual implementations against the IG's direction
(SKILL.md frontmatter, skill:// URIs, progressive disclosure via MCP
primitives), three repos directly implement those patterns while three
take alternative approaches worth documenting separately.
Core pattern implementations:
- skilljack-mcp: full SKILL.md + skill:// + progressive disclosure + dynamic updates
- skills-over-mcp: SKILL.md + skill:// resources + Zod validation
- skillsdotnet: SKILL.md + skill:// + load_skill tool + NuGet published
Alternative approaches (still by IG members):
- skillful-mcp: progressive disclosure via tools wrapping MCP servers (no SKILL.md)
- astronomer-agents: production SKILL.md catalog via plugin marketplace (not MCP resources)
- mcpGraph: tool orchestration engine with SKILL.md as docs (not runtime skills)
Also enriched implementation notes with specific technical details from
code review rather than surface-level descriptions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Rename section to 'Alternative Approaches' — Kurtis is MCP maintainer, not IG member
skillful-mcp is by Kurtis Van Gent, an MCP core maintainer who has
commented on IG work and written a relevant blog post, but is not an
IG member. Broaden the heading to include MCP maintainers alongside
IG members.

* Add PR #2527 (model access to resources) to Open SEPs
This spec PR recommends clients expose resource read to models, which
is a prerequisite for the resources-based skills approach. Discussed in
the April 7 IG meeting as a primary blocker — skills as resources only
work if models can actually read them.

* Add community insights from Discord threads and meeting notes
Distill Discord discussions (Feb 14-24) and Feb 26 office hours into
existing docs:
- New findings: NimbleBrain skill:// resource consolidation, skill
reliability/adherence issues across implementations
- Expanded approaches with distribution/provenance considerations,
resources adoption insight, and domain-level discovery (.well-known)
- Expanded open questions on dependencies and distribution trust
- Added Cloudflare Agent Skills Discovery RFC and NimbleBrain
reference implementations to related work

* Remove trust note since its already mentioned in the doc separately
* Clarify attribution for community insights on skill dependencies in open questions
* Refine findings on model skill adherence and community workarounds
* Remove outdated comparison section and streamline evaluation insights in experimental findings
* Remove unnecessary blank line in experimental findings documentation
* Add SEP-2093 proposal to related work documentation

Add two new use cases from Clare Liguori and Luca Chang (AWS) shared
in Discord after the first IG meeting:
- Documentation as MCP Server (search_docs/fetch_doc pattern)
- Skills + MCP Server Plugins (one-click bundling of skills + servers)
Add related implementations and external resources (Strands, AWS MCP,
Kiro powers, llms.txt, AWS Agent SOPs).
