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.

agent-audit
Audits an agent definition for correctness and quality — a single vendor-neutral file at plugin/APM scope, or a Claude Code and Copilot file pair at project/user scope.
What it does
At plugin/APM scope, accepts the single .apm/agents/<name>.agent.md file — there is no
counterpart. Structural checks via validate.sh hard-FAIL any frontmatter field outside the
vendor-neutral allowlist (name, description, model, source_keys — the last for
provenance tracking, checked separately by validate-provenance.sh against sources.md; see
ADR-0016), since apm compile
copies frontmatter verbatim to both harnesses and an unsafe field can't be silently dropped for
just one of them.
At project/user scope, accepts either file in a CC .md / Copilot .agent.md pair, derives
the counterpart automatically, and validates both. Runs structural checks via validate.sh
(required fields, kebab-case name, no placeholders, no CC-only fields in the Copilot file, no
Copilot-only fields in the CC file), provenance chain validation via validate-provenance.sh
(checks source_keys against sources.md at the plugin root — plugin/APM scope only), then
qualitative checks on description phrasing and system prompt quality. Step 1 also runs a
Vale-based prose sub-check via vale-wrap.sh against both files of the pair, using the
Kyberforge style (both files) and KyberforgeCopilot style (Copilot file only) — every alert
is a FAIL, cited by rule ID — falling back to Step 2 judgment when the vale binary is
unavailable or reports 0 files scanned. Produces a compact findings report in the same format
as skill-audit.
Usage
/agent-audit
Pass the path to either agent file as the argument.

Rows marked (source-only) exist in the authoring source (.apm/skills/agent-audit/) but are
not present in an installed plugin: scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh strips
<category>/<name>/tests when it generates the flat mirror, because these are dev-time fixtures no
plugin host needs to discover (ADR-0017). Run them from a repo checkout, not from an install.
