# apm-workflow

Authors, scaffolds, compiles, and audits apm packages and marketplaces.

## What it does

Covers the apm.yml lifecycle a session moves through repeatedly: configuring/scaffolding a package manifest, building or registering a marketplace, compiling/packing/publishing a distributable, and validating integrity via apm audit. Dispatches by requested action to one of four reference files, each self-contained for its concern.

## Before you start

Requires the `apm` binary and (for runtime-driven scripts) an agent runtime already installed — use `apm-install` first if either is missing.

## Usage

```
/apm-workflow configure
/apm-workflow marketplace
/apm-workflow compile
/apm-workflow audit
```
