title: "Futurum: Cloudsmith Brings Governed Control to the Agent Skills Supply Chain"
description: "Cloudsmith launched an AI Skills Registry on November 9, 2026, treating agent skills and Claude plugins as first-class versioned artifact types alongside packages and containers. The move directly targets a documented enterprise pain point: 44.7% of SLE decision-makers cite lack of governance and control infrastructure as a top-three barrier to expanding AI use. Cloudsmith positions the registry as the control plane that converts ungoverned shadow AI into auditable, policy-enforced infrastructure."
