Output of apm pack, sync-plugin-content.sh --all and
sync-marketplace-mirror.sh against this round's source changes. No file here
is hand-edited.
Carries the version bumps and marketplace owner.email into the compiled
manifests, the disallowedTools frontmatter and doc corrections into the flat
mirrors, and changes plugins/bin/.github/plugin/plugin.json's mcpServers from
the inlined server object to the ".mcp.json" pointer. That last file also
returns to 0644: the previous re-injection wrote it through mktemp and carried
0600 across, which no gate could see because the mode check did not cover
.github/plugin/ and git tracks only the exec bit.
.agents/plugins/marketplace.json is unchanged and that is correct -- apm's
codex profile carries neither version nor owner keys, so nothing in this round
reaches it.

Claude Code's (and Copilot's) native plugin installer has zero awareness of
.apm/ nesting -- it convention-scans only flat skills/, agents/, commands/,
hooks.json at each plugin's root. Confirmed via strings on the installed
claude binary and live installs of git@holocron/gitea@holocron/kyberforge@
holocron, all reporting Skills(0) Agents(0) Hooks(0) post ADR-0015's apm
conversion. Root cause (apm_cli/core/plugin_manifest.py): apm's plugin.json
compiler deliberately strips skills/agents/commands keys, assuming the host
already auto-discovers those convention directories -- it has no model of
.apm/ being host-visible at all. Separately, apm's own bundle exporter
(apm_cli/bundle/plugin_exporter.py, behind `apm pack --format plugin`)
implements the correct .apm/ -> flat mapping, but only ever targeted
build/<name>-<version>/, a path nothing in marketplace.json's source: points
at.
scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh wraps that bundle exporter and copies its
agents/, skills/, commands/, instructions/, extensions/, and merged
hooks.json back into each plugin's own root as a second tracked
compiled-output category -- same governance status as
.claude-plugin/plugin.json: generated from .apm/, never hand-edited. tests/
subdirectories are excluded from the mirror (dev fixtures, not host-visible
runtime content; several hardcode a relative repo-root walk-up sized for the
.apm/-nested depth, which breaks when duplicated one level shallower).
Applied for real across all 6 plugins and verified two ways: `claude plugin
validate --strict` passes on every real plugin directory, and a live
`claude --plugin-dir <path> -p "list skills/agents"` behavioral test
confirms content is now actually discovered.
Also, from the same issue #90 review round:
- scripts/check-manifests.sh pointed at each plugin's root-level plugin.json
(checking skills/hooks/mcpServers/agents pointer fields) -- that file was a
stale near-duplicate of .claude-plugin/plugin.json nothing else read or
wrote, now deleted across all 6 plugins. check-manifests.sh is rewritten to
validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json instead, and drops the pointer-field
checks entirely (nothing to check -- those fields are correctly absent by
design). Content-presence drift is now check-plugin-content-sync's job, a
new pre-push hook wired in .pre-commit-config.yaml.
docs/adr/0017 records the root cause and decision in full, including two
rejected alternatives (patching plugin.json's path fields directly -- apm's
compiler strips them on every run; pointing marketplace.json at apm pack's
build/ output -- a version-suffixed non-source directory nothing can install
from without an extra build step). ADR-0015 and CONTEXT.md are updated to
point at it.
Refs: #90
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.

field-inventory.md's apm-agent-allowlist and validate.sh's runtime
check already included source_keys as a 4th allowed field, and the
apm-agent.md template already instructed authors to add it for
provenance tracking — but SKILL.md (x2), README.md, ADR-0016, and
deployment-modes.md still described the allowlist as name/description/
model, "nothing else". The template itself even contradicted its own
source_keys guidance with a header claiming "ONLY the three fields
below — full stop" directly above it.
Updates all six locations to document source_keys as the intentional
4th field, resolving the contradiction.
A fresh /code-review of the APM-native authoring retarget (PR #93) found
several correctness bugs beyond the ones already fixed on this branch:
- new-agent.sh silently walked a marker-less subdirectory under $HOME up
to user scope, contradicting its own usage text ("user scope is checked
directly, no walk-up") and risking scaffolding into shared global
~/.claude or ~/.copilot directories instead of the intended local path.
- The hand-copied apm.yml type: manifest detector in new-agent.sh and
new-skill.sh accepted mismatched quotes (e.g. `type: "skill'`) that
validate.sh's regex correctly rejects, and silently dropped a final
apm.yml line lacking a trailing newline — causing the scaffolder and
validator to disagree on scope for identical input.
- Plugin-scope agent frontmatter could still contain the apm-agent.md
template's HTML comments at ship time with no audit signal, yet
apm compile copies frontmatter verbatim and <!-- --> breaks YAML
parsing on both downstream harnesses.
- ADR-0016 asserted agent-audit already implements a SUGGESTION heuristic
for tool-restriction-needing plugin-scope agents; it doesn't.
- agent-audit/README.md still described the old plugin-pair model this
PR replaced with a single-file allowlist model.
- validate.sh's project/user-scope CC-only/Copilot-only field checks and
counterpart-missing check lost their only test coverage when the old
plugin-pair fixture was deleted.
Also replaces an echo-into-sed two-value parse (4 forks per call) with a
single space-separated echo + read in both scaffolders.
Regression tests added for every fix above, including one for a bug this
pass introduced and the test suite caught: an initial two-line
echo + `read` attempt silently dropped the second value, since `read`
consumes only one line regardless of embedded newlines.
Full suite: 158 bats tests, 39 shell-script tests, 12/12 summary
categories, 0 failures.
Refs: #89, #93
Both READMEs' file tables predate #85's Vale wiring and never picked
up scripts/vale-wrap.sh or the assets/vale/ style tree, so a reader
of either README had no way to find where the new Step 1 sub-check
actually lives. List the new files and note the Vale sub-check in
"What it does" for both skills.
`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.

## Why
agent-author produces agents/sources.md at plugin scope to record which
research sources informed which agent files. agent-audit had no way to
validate this chain, leaving stale or missing provenance undetected.
## Implementation Notes
Validation is per-pair (the given agent file + its counterpart) rather
than plugin-wide, keeping the scope consistent with validate.sh. The
script exits 0 silently for non-plugin-scope agents.
source_keys is top-level in both CC .md and Copilot .agent.md files
(not under metadata:) to avoid conflict with Copilot's own metadata
field semantics. Checks 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 mirror the skill provenance
set; upstream research-doc cross-reference checks (7, 8) are deferred.
agent-author Steps 2, 3, and 4 updated to formally specify the
agents/sources.md format and instruct authors to add source_keys to
both files when research sources are in context.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0147vXtL5sP6vorDdqXGJJU9
## 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
