SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI agents often operate without a trusted identity or auditable access to external services. This Skill provides a verifiable Alien Agent ID bound to a human owner, enabling authenticated service access and cryptographic provenance for actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Verifiable identity: obtain a cryptographic agent key bound to a human owner via Alien Network SSO.
Service authentication and token exchange: issue short-lived tokens for Alien-aware services.
Credential vault and signed commits: securely store credentials and sign git commits with provenance data.
Use Case: when an agent interacts with GitHub, AWS, or Slack, it can present a bound identity and maintain an auditable trail.

Quick Start

Open the Alien App and scan the QR code shown during bootstrap to complete the initial binding and begin using the Agent ID.

FAQPage Schema

How do I bind a cryptographic identity to an AI agent?▼

A verifiable AI agent identity is obtained by automating an OpenID Connect flow with PKCE to bind Ed25519 keys to a human owner via Alien Network SSO. This establishes cryptographic provenance for agent actions.

Can I use OIDC to authenticate AI agents for GitHub and AWS access?▼

Yes, OIDC authenticates AI agents for GitHub and AWS access by issuing short-lived tokens for service authentication. The credential vault securely stores credentials, enabling agents to present a bound identity and maintain an auditable trail across external services.

How do I sign git commits with provenance data from an AI agent?▼

Git commits are signed with provenance data using the agent's Ed25519 keys. The Skill validates owner bindings and signs actions for audit, creating an auditable trail of agent interactions with external services like GitHub.

Do I need a local state directory to manage SSH signing for AI agents?▼

Yes, a local state directory is required to manage SSH signing and cryptographic identity for AI agents. This directory stores the Ed25519 keys and OpenID Connect state needed to validate owner bindings.

What is credential vaulting for AI agents with shell access?▼

Credential vaulting for AI agents with shell access is the secure storage of authentication credentials. It works alongside bound Ed25519 keys to issue short-lived tokens, enabling authenticated service access and cryptographic provenance for actions.

How does Alien Network SSO verify an agent's human owner?▼

Alien Network SSO verifies an agent's human owner through an OpenID Connect flow with PKCE. During bootstrap, the human owner scans a QR code to complete the initial binding, linking the agent's Ed25519 keys to their verified identity.
