Defame1297 430f46b8e8 docs: correct the claims this review found false
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.
