Description 833 -> 239 chars, body 370 -> 387 words, Gotchas 41% -> 20%.
The file-type enumeration moves to a new references/provider-matrix.md;
the composition note was already in README.md.
Three defects a clean-context audit found, all fixed:
The 'never edits AGENTS.md' prohibition had become a justification clause
on the false branch of a conditional, so the common path never read a
sentence binding it. That matters because the bundled validator's own
remediation text tells the agent to move content into AGENTS.md, so a
size FAIL actively invited the prohibited edit. Restored as a standing
imperative, plus a counter at the step where the trap fires.
A Gotcha asserted that validate-adapter.sh fails without
--no-import-syntax. The flag is a no-op -- both branches reduce to the
same expression. Reverted to an instruction; the script defect is #115.
The boundary clauses used pronouns to dodge the #110 regex, and 'Not
auditing it' resolved to CLAUDE.md as readily as to AGENTS.md -- routing
'audit my CLAUDE.md' to a skill whose own description declines it.
Refs #99
Description 944 -> 322 chars, Gotchas 36% -> 22%. The composition note
moves to README.md.
Restores the hand-edit trigger, which a clean-context audit found had no
other caller: agentsmd-author owns the post-authoring invocation, but a
hand-edit has no author skill in the loop, so nothing invoked the audit
at all. It survived only in README.md, which neither the router nor the
invoked agent loads. That is the path on which a human pastes a
credential into AGENTS.md.
The first pass dropped it against a measured budget of '~9 spare chars'.
The real cost was ~49, and 250 is the SUGGESTION tier, not a ceiling --
the gate fails at 400. Ships at 322 with one advisory line.
Names the three audit dimensions in the capability clause, recovering
routing for 'does my AGENTS.md leak credentials', and qualifies the
'is this AGENTS.md safe to commit' phrasing, whose pronoun had no
antecedent inside the quoted string.
Refs #99
Description 960 -> 244 chars, body 470 -> 452 words, Gotchas 36% -> 22%.
Both composition notes move to README.md, which already carried them.
Four of five Gotchas were paraphrases of the step below them and were
deleted with their force folded back into that step. A clean-context
audit overturned the fifth deletion: the provider-file prohibition was
strictly broader than Step 4, so it was never a paraphrase, and Step 4's
'don't rewrite it yourself' is attached to the if-duplicates branch. With
Write and Edit granted, a provider file that was merely stale had nothing
forbidding an edit. Restored as an unconditional Gotcha, read before any
step writes.
Also restores a concrete indirect trigger. The retrofit had replaced two
with the meta-statement 'even when they don't name the file', which
claims an indirect trigger exists rather than being one -- and users
asking to document a repo for AI tools have no reason to know the
filename.
Refs #99
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.

validate-secrets.sh checked the placeholder allowlist regex against the
whole line before running any secret-pattern regex. An unrelated
placeholder-looking token anywhere on the line (e.g. "example" or
"your-token-here" in a trailing comment) suppressed detection of a real
credential earlier on the same line. Scope the allowlist check to the
matched secret-candidate substring only, which the per-match re-check
already did downstream but the whole-line pre-check short-circuited
before it ever ran.
Extend validate-secrets.bats with a case proving a real AWS-style key is
still caught when a placeholder token sits elsewhere on the line.
Regenerate the flat-mirror copy at
plugins/core/skills/agentsmd-audit/scripts/validate-secrets.sh via
scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all per ADR-0016.
Why:
ADR-0015 established that Microsoft APM (apm.yml + .apm/) should replace
this repo's hand-authored plugin.json/marketplace.json model, with those
files becoming compiled output of `apm pack` instead of files edited by
hand via the (now-retired) plugin-author/marketplace-author skills.
Issue #90 was the deferred execution of that decision, gated on #88
(apm tooling) and #89 (apm-native agent-author/skill-author routing).
Implementation notes:
- All six plugins (bin, core, git, gitea, kyberforge, lint) now carry
apm.yml + .apm/{skills,agents,hooks} as their authoring source. Skills
moved with a plain git mv (content-identical across targets). Agents
were re-authored, not moved: per ADR-0016, .apm/agents/*.agent.md
compiles verbatim to both Claude and Copilot, so plugin-scope agents
now carry only name/description/model/source_keys -- no tools: field,
no Claude-only knobs (isolation, maxTurns, effort, memory,
permissionMode).
- Root apm.yml registers all 7 marketplace packages (6 local plus
mattpocock-skills as a remote entry) under versioning: per_package,
matching this repo's existing independent-plugin-versioning practice.
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and every plugin's plugin.json are now
apm-pack-compiled output, verified against the prior hand-maintained
content: same names/descriptions/versions/licenses/authors, only
cosmetic serialization differences (JSON key order, owner email vs.
url, Unicode escaping).
- plugin-author and marketplace-author are retired now that apm-based
authoring fully replaces their job; kyberforge bumped 1.3.1 -> 1.4.0
for that removal, and the root marketplace catalog bumped
0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 to match, per the version-bump convention now
documented in apm-workflow's reference docs instead of a dedicated
script (apm has no native version-bump automation).
- Fixed hardcoded pre-.apm/ path assumptions across
.pre-commit-config.yaml, .pre-commit-hooks.yaml,
scripts/check-scope-walkup-sync.sh, scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh,
scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh, six plugins' root plugin.json
(stale skills/hooks/agents pointer fields that check-manifests.sh
validates), and several tests/*.bats and tests/*.sh fixtures --
including a bats REPO_ROOT relative-path depth bug (10 files, one
extra .apm/ directory level to walk up) and a vale probe-path
isolation regression introduced mid-fix.
- Corrected empirically-wrong assumptions surfaced this session in
apm-workflow/apm-install's own reference docs: `apm marketplace
package add` does not accept local paths (only owner/repo remote
shorthand -- local packages are registered by editing apm.yml's
marketplace.packages[] directly); `apm compile` is a consumer-side
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md generator, not the plugin.json producer, and
hard-fails on skill/agent-only packages without --clean; `apm plugin
init <name>` nests a stray subdirectory when run with a positional
name arg from inside a same-named directory; no native Copilot
marketplace output profile exists; .mcp.json is merged into the
compiled plugin.json content-aware and target-scoped, with no
dependencies.mcp entry needed for simple passthrough; pipx is the
correct pip fallback on externally-managed Python environments.
- Renamed agent-author's copilot.agent.md template asset to
copilot.agent.md.template so apm compile's recursive *.agent.md glob
stops misparsing the placeholder template as a real agent primitive.
Impact:
plugin.json and marketplace.json are compiled artifacts from here on --
editing them by hand is no longer the workflow; edit apm.yml/.apm/ and
run apm pack. CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin marketplace glossary entries
reflect this. ADR-0001 is marked superseded, ADR-0006 moot, and
ADR-0010 updated for the new .apm/agents/ path (project/user scope
unaffected, per ADR-0016). Full local verification: claude plugin
validate --strict on all 6 plugins, apm audit --ci, apm marketplace
check, check-manifests.sh, and the full test suite (165/165 bats,
13/13 shell scripts) all pass clean.
