This paper introduces Skillware, a new software ontology and engineering lifecycle designed for persistent behavioral artifacts in AI agent systems. Skillware defines these artifacts as independent software objects, enabling them to be specified, executed, maintained, and evolved. The framework establishes three conditions for category membership: behavioral primacy, independent software identity, and an Agent Host execution relationship, ensuring that agent capabilities can become identifiable, composable, and maintainable software components.
