Validates the new single-file .apm/agents/<name>.agent.md shape agent-author now produces at plugin/APM scope: frontmatter allowlist (name/description/ model only, from a new apm-agent-allowlist entry in field-inventory.md), no counterpart derivation, and Pair Consistency dropped from that scope's report entirely (nothing to pair by design). Adds a plugin/APM-scope-only SUGGESTION when an agent's description/body implies a tool restriction or Claude-only behavior the vendor-neutral frontmatter can no longer express (ADR-0016). Scope detection in both validate.sh and validate-provenance.sh switches from a flat plugin.json/.claude-plugin/plugin.json check to a walk-up for the nearest ancestor apm.yml with a top-level type: field, skipping type:-less marketplace-only manifests — full switch, no dual-mode fallback to the old plugin.json signal. validate-provenance.sh's walk-up was fixed to match validate.sh's (it still used the old plugin.json check, and its counterpart-merge logic was rewritten to read a single file's source_keys instead of merging a CC+Copilot pair, since plugin/APM scope has no counterpart). Project/user scope validation is unchanged in both scripts. Refs: #89
scripts/
Executable code bundled with this skill. Agents run scripts in this directory to perform repeatable operations rather than reinventing the logic each run.
When to add a script
Add a script when agents independently reinvent the same logic across runs — building the same parser, chart, or validation routine from scratch each time. Bundle it here once, tested and reliable.
Script requirements (agentskills.io)
Scripts must be designed for non-interactive, agentic execution:
- No interactive prompts — agents run in non-interactive shells. Accept all input via flags, env vars, or stdin. A script that blocks on TTY input hangs indefinitely.
- Expose
--help— this is how agents learn your script's interface. Keep the output concise; it enters the agent's context window. - Structured output — write data (JSON, CSV, TSV) to stdout. Write progress, warnings, and diagnostics to stderr.
- Idempotent — prefer "create if not exists" over "create and fail on duplicate". Agents may retry on failure.
- Meaningful exit codes —
0for success, non-zero for failure. Use distinct codes for different failure types; document them in--help. - Dry-run support — add
--dry-runfor destructive operations.
Self-contained scripts
Bundle dependencies inline so the agent can run the script with a single command.
Python (PEP 723 + uv):
# /// script
# dependencies = ["requests>=2.31,<3"]
# requires-python = ">=3.11"
# ///
import requests
uv run scripts/my-script.py
