Summary
Chainguard has launched Agent Skills, a public registry of over 1,000 hardened AI agent skills designed to secure the rapidly growing ecosystem of AI coding agents. The offering includes a private registry for organization-specific skills and a hardening service. The initiative aims to address security vulnerabilities in AI agent development by providing "secure by default" components, similar to how Chainguard's container image registry works for software supply chain security.
