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.

Re-review (comment 24) of fix commit e16c3dc found six new issues, mostly
introduced by that fix commit itself: a dangling reference to a Hard Rule
bullet the same commit deleted (apm-orchestrate.md/.agent.md Process step
2 still named "secret indirection"), and an ADR-0015 Decision bullet that
claimed "this ADR does not update CONTEXT.md" while the same commit had
just added a forward-pointer sentence to CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin
marketplace entries. Both reworded to match what actually happened.
apm-install's APM_INSTALL_DIR escape-hatch example dropped the curl pipe
entirely (`APM_INSTALL_DIR=... sh` with nothing piped into it) — fixed in
both apm-install/SKILL.md and the installation.md research doc, verified
against the upstream Microsoft APM docs via Context7.
Neither apm-workflow nor apm-orchestrate routed to plain `apm install
[PACKAGE_REF]`, the CLI command that actually resolves/fetches
dependencies declared in apm.yml — apm-install only bootstraps the apm
binary/runtime, not per-package deps. Added a 5th "install" dispatch
action to apm-workflow (new references/install.md, SKILL.md table row,
README usage/files sync, sources.md provenance entry) and a matching
"install" operation group on apm-orchestrate so it can route there.
configure.md's apm.yml schema block was also missing the "legacy singular
`target:` CSV form is still accepted" caveat its sibling research doc
documents for the same field — added for consistency.
The sixth finding (paired .md/.agent.md Output-contract disagreement) was
checked against git-orchestrate and gitea-orchestrate's existing pairs and
found to match established repo convention (JSON schema in .md, prose
summary without the enum in .agent.md) — left unchanged as a false
positive rather than "fixed."
kyberforge bumped 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1 via agent-author's normal improve flow.

Deterministic counterpart to apm-workflow for subagent dispatch,
mirroring git-orchestrate/gitea-orchestrate. Scoped to
configure/marketplace/compile/audit, with fan-out across multiple
packages for the future multi-plugin conversion; apm-install has no
orchestrator counterpart since it's a one-time machine bootstrap.
Bumps kyberforge 1.2.8 -> 1.3.0 (new agent, first in the plugin).
kyberforge 1.2.7 -> 1.2.8: both vale-wrap.sh copies, skill-audit's validate.sh
and its SKILL.md changed after the last bump. lint 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5: the Vale
research troubleshooting doc changed after its last bump.
Without the bump, installed copies keep serving the cached version. This is the
fourth time in this PR the bump was missed after shipped content changed —
check-manifests.sh validates parity between the two manifests but not that a
content change was accompanied by a bump, which is the gap that keeps letting
it through.
Refs: #85
Under set -u, "${arr[@]}" on an empty array aborts on bash before 4.4,
which is what macOS ships as /bin/bash. Three expansion sites now use
${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"} consistently.
The hazard is not currently reachable: verified on a bash 3.2.57 built
from source that all seven invocation shapes succeed against the
previous code, including zero args, flags-only and an empty directory.
vale_args is provably non-empty at every site because the default
--config branch always appends first. The guard is kept because that
invariant is non-local and untested, so an edit to the default-config
branch would reintroduce a macOS-only crash silently.
Test fidelity is deliberately mixed. Case 16 is static and is the only
one that fails against the previous code, since no bash 5 host can
reproduce the abort at runtime. Case 17 runs the emptiest invocations
under the oldest bash it can find and names that shell in its output
so it cannot overclaim. Case 18 guards against the tempting wrong fix
of dropping the quotes, which also silences the abort but word-splits
a path containing a space.
No other bash 4.x construct is present; swept for mapfile, declare -A,
case modification, negative indices, globstar, wait -n and namerefs.

kyberforge 1.2.5 -> 1.2.6 for the self-locating vale-wrap.sh.
lint 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 for the corrected Vale exit-code semantics: a
consumer cached at 1.1.3 holds docs that lead to building a gate which
passes everything.
Both provider manifests bumped in parity per ADR-0006. Marketplace
entries carry no per-plugin version, so neither file changes.

skill-audit/agent-audit's Step 1 resolved vale-wrap.sh/.vale.ini via
`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, which returns whichever repo the skill
happens to run in. Inside ai-development that works; in any external repo
that installs kyberforge@holocron as a plugin, it resolves to that repo's
own root, which has no .vale.ini — the prefilter silently fell back to
full LLM judgment. ADR-0013 named this as a deliberately deferred gap.
Vale's config/styles/wrapper now ship inside the plugin itself: a
canonical copy in agent-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge + KyberforgeCopilot,
the superset agent-audit needs) and a smaller duplicate in
skill-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge only) — per the no-cross-skill-path
rule already established for plugin cache-installs. Both skills resolve
these relative to their own directory, same as scripts/validate.sh
already does.
A new root .pre-commit-hooks.yaml exposes both copies plus
skill-size-check so any external repo can enforce the same rules via
`repo: <this-repo-url>, rev: <tag>` in its own pre-commit config,
independent of Claude Code entirely — the same mechanism covers CI. This
repo's own pre-commit hook now consumes the identical plugin-bundled
copies via repo: local (not a third root copy, and not a pinned
self-reference, which would lint working-tree edits against the last
tagged release instead of the change being made). Split into
vale-audit-prefilter-skill/-agent hooks after confirming, by diffing the
full corpus against both old and new config before deleting the old
files, that one combined hook pointed at only one copy silently 0-file-
skips the other file type.
scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh guards the two copies against drift,
wired at pre-push alongside check-manifests.
ADR: 0014
The round-3 fixes changed shipped skill content in three plugins without
touching their manifests, so installed copies would keep serving the old
content from cache. plugin-author requires a patch bump for exactly this
reason: consumers use the version to detect changes.
It matters most for lint — anyone installed at 1.1.2 has a cached
vale-run/SKILL.md stating that Vale exits non-zero on warnings, which is
backwards and would lead them to build a gate that passes everything.
- bin 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 (caveman: suppression comments removed)
- kyberforge 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4 (skill-audit/agent-audit: Vale step reworked)
- lint 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 (vale-run: exit-code and suppression-syntax fixes)
Marketplace entries carry no per-plugin version, so both marketplace.json
files are unchanged.

skill-author and agent-author SKILL.md files received bug fixes (git-log
commit-hash verification before reporting completion, skill-author now
forbids self-spawning audit/recheck subagents during its authoring pass,
and agent-author closed checklist/coverage gaps). Patch bump to reflect
fixed behavior, not new capability.

skill-audit/agent-audit now proactively trigger after a skill/agent
file is hand-edited outside skill-author/agent-author, not just on
explicit request — closing a gap from this session where a fork's
direct edits to agent-author/agent-audit shipped without their own
inline audit until forge was invoked to check afterward.
Also: plugin-author gains a gotcha on claude plugin validate --strict
auto-discovering every .md under agents/ regardless of manifest
declarations (ADR-0010); agent-audit's dimension count and
validate-provenance.sh's --help now match actual behavior.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`claude plugin validate --strict` auto-discovers every .md under a
plugin's agents/ directory as an agent requiring frontmatter, so the
provenance file there always needs fake agent frontmatter to pass
validation. Confirmed empirically that an explicit `agents` manifest
array can't suppress this discovery. Move the file to <plugin-root>/
sources.md instead, and update agent-author/agent-audit accordingly.
Adds ADR-0010, partially superseding ADR-0005's `agents/sources.md`
convention. Fixes#63.

Corrects three FAIL findings from the skill-audit run:
- Scope detection table in SKILL.md and references/scripts.md now lists all
four plugin-marker variants the script actually checks (plugin.json,
.claude-plugin/plugin.json, .plugin/plugin.json, .github/plugin/plugin.json)
- assets/README.md copilot.agent.md description was wrong about field set;
replaced with accurate CLI-format description noting excluded cloud/IDE fields
and the Copilot tool aliases actually used.
Also applies the SUGGESTION: moves the conditional reference
(`If the destination is a plugin directory, read references/deployment-modes.md`)
out of the ## Gotchas section body and into ## Route as a standalone line,
immediately after ## Gotchas closes.
INFO findings (source_keys frontmatter) were already present in both
references/README.md and references/scripts.md — no change needed.

## Why
agent-author produces paired agent definition files (Claude Code .md +
Copilot .agent.md) but had no companion audit skill to validate them.
agent-audit fills that gap, giving the same structured PASS/FAIL report
that skill-audit provides for SKILL.md files.
## Implementation Notes
- validate.sh uses scope detection (walk up for plugin.json / .git) to
locate the counterpart file and determine whether plugin-silently-ignored
fields (hooks, mcpServers, permissionMode) should be flagged
- CC-only and silently-ignored field lists are read from
references/field-inventory.md at runtime rather than hardcoded —
provenance back to the research corpus; see ADR-0019
- Single-file invocation (pass either file, counterpart derived) chosen
over directory or name+root — see ADR-0018
- 12 bats tests cover provider detection, scope detection, all FAIL paths,
and clean-pair pass
## Impact
- kyberforge bumped to v1.1.2
- agent-author close step should be updated to reference agent-audit (#11)
- Provenance/sources chain check deferred to #60

## Why
The UPDATE flow only bumped version when the version field itself was the
target. Metadata changes (description, keywords, author) went out without a
version bump, making them invisible to consumers with a cached copy.

## Why
Same gap as skill-author: no instruction to bump the plugin version after
creating or modifying an agent inside a plugin.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
README "What it does" didn't reflect the plugin version bump step added
to both create and improve flows.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
The skill had no instruction to bump the catalog version after ADD, REMOVE, or UPDATE operations. Clients cache the marketplace catalog and use the version field to detect changes — without a bump, the new state is invisible until a forced refresh.
## Implementation Notes
Added a Gotcha explaining the rule and semver convention (ADD/REMOVE → minor, UPDATE → patch). Added a dedicated "Bump catalog version" step to each mutating flow. Updated README to match.
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Why
Version sync across all plugin manifest locations so the CC plugin loader,
the .github marketplace mirror, and the canonical plugin.json files all
report the same version.
## Impact
Consumers fetching the plugin via the marketplace will see the updated
version entry.
## Why
Plugin and marketplace management had no governed authoring path. Creating or
updating a plugin required knowing the dual-manifest convention, version parity
rules, and directory skeleton by memory — nothing enforced consistency or guided
the process.
`/plugin-author` closes that gap by owning the full plugin scaffold lifecycle:
create, update, rename, and release. `/marketplace-author` handles the
marketplace-facing side: register, deregister, and update plugin entries in
`marketplace.json`.
ADR-0016 codifies the version parity convention (identical `version` in both
`plugin.json` and `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`) that `/plugin-author` now
enforces. The two plugin.json files in this repo are backfilled to comply
(keys also sorted to pass the pretty-format-json hook). CONTEXT.md gains
glossary entries for "plugin scaffold" and "version parity" so future agents
have shared vocabulary for these concepts.
## Implementation Notes
`/plugin-author` ships a `scripts/new-plugin.sh` scaffold script that generates
the directory skeleton and both manifests in one shot; the skill calls the script
rather than generating files ad hoc so the scaffold is reviewable and repeatable.
Version parity is an invariant, not a suggestion — the skill will fail loudly
on create/update if the two versions would diverge.
ADR: docs/adr/0016-plugin-version-parity.md
Scaffolds the kyberforge marketplace management plugin (create-plugin and
marketplace-architect skills will live here). Renames the plugin-create
skill directory to create-plugin to match the canonical kebab-order convention.
