Your company-wide AGENTS.md

When your team's coding agents aren't aligned, they build the wrong<br>thing. Alignbase helps you define critical context and inject it into<br>the right agents every session.

Coding agents don't know about your company.

The people that used to write the code knew your product, customers,<br>policies, and current goals. Now, the agents writing the code don't.

Doc gap<br>The right doc exists, but the agent never reads it<br>The fact that changes the implementation may live in a wiki, design note, or team decision the agent never sees.

Agent drift<br>Each coding agent learns a different version<br>One agent knows the security rule. Another knows the release plan. You end up managing each agent's partial memory.

Repo view<br>The agent solves the repo and misses the system<br>The task is in one repo, but the constraint lives in another service, migration plan, customer promise, or policy.

Review tax<br>Your review becomes context repair<br>Plausible code can still miss team standards, customer constraints, or rollout plans. Review becomes context repair.

AGENTS.md, Skills, and knowledge bases aren't enough.

AGENTS.md can't be shared across repositories

Engineers need one place to update context and immediately improve agent output across all users, repos, and branches. Copying AGENTS.md files creates drift as soon as teams move.

Skills aren't forced into the context window

Key context should reach agents securely and proactively. You should not have to rely on every user naming the right Skill or every agent deciding to pull it in.

Knowledge bases are too big

Knowledge bases are broad, noisy, and often out of date. Agents have very limited context windows and lose the important pieces of context in the noise.

Align your agents with shared context.

AGENTS.md files can keep all the repo-specific context. Skills can<br>keep all the reusable capabilities. Share the rest with Alignbase.

Context your agents should start with:

→ Company overview, strategy, and KPIs<br>→ Product description, vision, and ICP<br>→ Security, privacy, and compliance rules agents should not miss<br>→ Cross-repo architecture decisions and active migrations<br>→ Engineering standards and review policy that apply across teams<br>→ Active outages, incidents, and maintenance windows

When you centralize context, you get:

Governance<br>Context management<br>Centralize context in one approved place with owners, reviews, permissions, and audit history.

Accuracy<br>Aligned agents<br>Every coding agent your team uses starts from the same current context, even across users, repos, and branches.

Speed<br>Fewer review cycles<br>Agents build the right thing in fewer iterations when they understand all the constraints from the start.

Efficiency<br>Token savings<br>Agents spend fewer tokens exploring dead ends and redoing work.

Start sharing context in 2 minutes.

Inject context into the agents you and your team already use. No<br>changes to your workflow needed.

Step 1<br>Open Alignbase

Create an account to initialize your Alignbase context repository.

Step 2<br>Add context

Add a company overview, or any other piece of context you want to share.

Step 3<br>Connect an agent

Inject that context into any coding agent, completely in the background.

Questions engineers ask.

Short answers about how Alignbase fits with AGENTS.md, Skills, wikis,<br>and the coding agents you already use.

What is AI coding agent context? AI coding agent context is the product, policy, customer, architecture, and team knowledge an agent needs to implement work correctly. Repo-local commands and conventions still belong in repo AGENTS.md files. Alignbase is for company and cross-repo context those files cannot manage well.<br>How is Alignbase different from AGENTS.md? AGENTS.md is useful for repo-local rules, commands, and conventions. Alignbase adds a managed context layer for company, team, policy, and cross-repo knowledge, then injects the right bundle into each agent.<br>Does Alignbase replace repo-level AGENTS.md files? No. Repo-level instructions are still useful for local commands and codebase rules. Alignbase adds the team and company context that lives outside one repo, then injects the right bundle into each agent.<br>Why not just use Skills? Skills are useful when a user or agent chooses to invoke them. Some context should not be optional. Alignbase can push approved context into the starting window, with permissions and audit records around who changed it and which agents received it.<br>Why not just point agents at a knowledge base? Knowledge bases are usually too broad, noisy, and stale for agent startup context. Alignbase...
