docs: correct the claims this review found false
AGENTS.md told an offline agent to push with SKIP=apm-marketplace-check and asserted that hook was "the only one whose failure mode is 'no network'". Running all 12 pre-push hooks under a network namespace shows two fail, for one shared cause: apm-pack-check-clean resolves the same remote entry. An exact pin does not remove the ls-remote, so both hooks are named now. AGENTS.md also said everything in a plugin root except .apm/ is generated. Plugin roots carry hand-authored README.md, docs/, bin/, sources.md and .mcp.json, so an agent would hunt for an .apm/ source that does not exist or refuse the edit. The rule is positional: immunity belongs to the plugin root, and anything inside a mirrored directory is still rm -rf'd. ADR-0017 said apm strips a hooks field. The real loop is (agents, skills, commands, instructions) -- hooks absent, instructions never mentioned -- and it can never fire, because synthesize_plugin_json_from_apm_yml only emits the eight identity fields. The decision stands; the mechanism was overstated. Its mcpServers amendment is rewritten for the pointer payload and now records the real reason: inlining bypassed apm's credential sanitizer. ADR-0015's owner.email and version-pin passages are corrected against the apm source, and ADR-0016 gains the disallowedTools amendment. agent-audit's allowlist is data, so it gains disallowedTools too -- the ADR and the validator that enforces it had come apart. architecture.md described a root CLAUDE.md that imports two files (it imports one, plus an RTK block) and pointed at an ADR index that does not exist. Seven skill READMEs listed tests/ files the mirror strips, promising installed users files their install lacks; those rows are marked source-only, with the depth-4 template tests explicitly called out as surviving. And plugins/kyberforge/hooks/README.md, deleted during the conversion and preserved nowhere, is restored to a path the mirror does not own -- verified by running a sync against a scratch copy.

At **plugin/APM scope** there is no counterpart — the script instead checks the single file's frontmatter against the `apm-agent-allowlist` in `references/field-inventory.md`. Read that section for the current list rather than reciting one here; it is the authoritative source and it changes. As of 2026-08-14 it is `name`, `description`, `model`, `source_keys`, `disallowedTools` — `source_keys` is provenance metadata, not a provider-specific field, and is validated separately by `validate-provenance.sh` against `sources.md`; `disallowedTools` is a denylist, admitted because denying a tool by name is safe under `apm compile`'s verbatim copy in a way the `tools` allowlist is not (ADR-0016's 2026-08-14 amendment, and the rationale recorded alongside the list itself).

`vale-wrap.sh` ships inside this skill's own `scripts/` — resolve it relative to this skill's directory the same way `scripts/validate.sh` is resolved above, so the invocation works whether this skill is running from this repo or from an installed plugin cache. Pass no `--config`: handed none, the wrapper loads its own sibling `assets/vale/.vale.ini`, located from the script's path rather than from the cwd. Adding an explicit relative `--config` breaks exactly the case the self-location covers — a resolved script path plus an unresolved config path yields `E100 Runtime error ... does not exist`, exit 2, which the fallback below then misreads as "vale unavailable". At project/user scope, run it against both files of the pair (not just the one passed in); at plugin/APM scope, run it against the single file. `Kyberforge` applies to all of these files via the `**/agents/*.md` glob; `KyberforgeCopilot` applies to any `*.agent.md` file — including the plugin/APM-scope file, which already has that extension — via the `**/*.agent.md` glob, since its one rule (`Use proactively`) flags CC-specific phrasing that's meaningless in a vendor-neutral or Copilot description. Every Vale alert is a `FAIL` — all rules are graded `error` — so report each one in the `### Description` / `### Body` dimensions citing its rule ID (e.g. `KyberforgeCopilot.ProactivePhrase`). Skip and fall back to Step 2 judgment if the `vale` binary is unavailable. If Vale reports `0 files` scanned, treat the pass as NOT RUN — not as clean — and fall back to full Step 2 judgment for the dimensions it would have covered.
|
||||
|
||||
`validate-provenance.sh` operates at plugin/APM scope only — it walks up from the agent file's directory the same way `validate.sh` does (nearest ancestor `apm.yml` with a top-level `type:` field; skip a `type:`-less marketplace-only `apm.yml`; stop at `.git` or the filesystem root) and exits 0 silently if that walk doesn't land on a package root, or when no provenance data exists. When it does apply, it validates the chain between the single file's own `source_keys` and the package-scoped `sources.md` (package root — see ADR-0010). Note FAILs from this script for the `### Provenance` dimension — surface them verbatim with Why and Fix.

If the scripts cannot run (Bash denied, python3 unavailable), perform checks manually.

At plugin/APM scope: required fields present (`name`, `description`, non-empty body), `name` is kebab-case and matches the filename stem, no `FILL IN:` placeholders, no frontmatter field outside `name`/`description`/`model`/`source_keys` (read the `apm-agent-allowlist` section of `references/field-inventory.md`; `source_keys` carries provenance metadata, checked separately by `validate-provenance.sh` against `sources.md`).

Why `disallowedTools` is on a list that is otherwise vendor-neutral, when `tools` is not
|
||||
(ADR-0016 and its 2026-08-14 amendment): the two are not symmetric. `tools` is an **allowlist**
|
||||
whose vocabulary differs per harness — Claude Code names its own tools, Copilot CLI uses aliases
|
||||
(`execute`/`read`/`edit`/`search`/`agent`/`web`) — so a value correct for one is wrong for the
|
||||
other, and `apm compile` copies frontmatter verbatim with no per-target integrator to reconcile
|
||||
them. `disallowedTools` is a **denylist**, and denying by name is safe under verbatim copy: a name
|
||||
the other harness does not recognise denies nothing, so the worst case is that the fence is absent
|
||||
there, never that the wrong capability is granted. Claude Code honours it for plugin subagents —
|
||||
`docs/research/docs/claude-code-plugins/agent-definition.md:99` names the fields plugin agents
|
||||
silently ignore (`hooks`, `mcpServers`, `permissionMode`) and `disallowedTools` is not among them.
|
||||
|
||||
`disallowedTools` also appears in `claude-code-only-fields` above, and that stays correct: at
|
||||
project/user scope it is still a Claude-only field and must not appear in a Copilot `.agent.md`.
|
||||
The two lists answer different questions — "may this field cross the CC/Copilot file boundary" for

a real pair, versus "is this field safe under verbatim copy to every target" for a single
