Skills give AI agents reusable instructions and files for specific tasks. But giving every agent every Skill exposes sensitive procedures, wastes context, and makes agent behavior harder to audit.
Alignbase now separates two controls:
- Access: What may the agent do with a Skill?
- Assignment: Should the Skill enter that agent’s context?
Access determines whether an agent can view, propose changes to, edit, or publish a Skill.
Assignments control routing:
- Enabled, which routes the Skill into the agent’s context.
- Required, which routes it into context and prevents anyone except an admin from changing the assignment.
Consider a production deployment Skill. Developers may use it, a platform agent may need it enabled for deployment work, and only a small group should publish changes.
Alignbase records these decisions alongside the Skill’s version history. Teams can see which version an agent received, who changed it, and why it was routed there.
Agent context directly shapes agent behavior. It needs permissions, change management, and audit history, just like code.

This is interesting, a RBAC/IAM for the agents to have more control on agent context. One question that is at the top of my mind, does Alignbase support anything like time-limited entitlements such as temporary role activation, and what will happen if the agent has fulfilled its role, will that access automatically deactivate?
