description: "Cloudsmith this week at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 conference unveiled a registry for artificial intelligence (AI) skills that makes it simpler for software engineers to expose a set of reusable instructions, workflows, and resources that teach an AI coding agent how to better perform a specific task.\n\nJames Matchett, head of security for Cloudsmith, said the AI Agent Skills registry provides access to a set of vetted skills to ensure that application development teams are not inadvertently using an AI skill that might include a set of malicious prompts."
