Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing ~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21 both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no FAIL condition behind it. Gates (blocking, no baseline file): - description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded YAML value - body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop - every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels - agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test pins that absence Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives. Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars (-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the agent-author misroute to manual review. Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read ' was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to be rewritten around it. Refs: ADR-0020

Contents
Authoring source lives in .apm/. The skills/, agents/, and hooks/hooks.json paths below are the generated mirror that plugin hosts actually scan — produced by scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh, never hand-edited (ADR-0017).
| Component | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Skills | .apm/skills/ → skills/ |
Slash commands available after install |
| Agents | .apm/agents/*.agent.md → agents/ |
Role-based agents; one vendor-neutral .agent.md per agent, copied verbatim to both targets (ADR-0016) |
| Hooks | .apm/hooks/ → hooks/hooks.json |
Event-triggered automation — read by Claude Code only, see below |
| MCP servers | .mcp.json |
Model Context Protocol server definitions (hand-authored at the plugin root) |
Hooks are Claude Code-only in practice. Claude Code convention-scans hooks/hooks.json at the plugin root, so that file is live. Copilot CLI has no default hooks path — agents and skills default to agents/ and skills/, but hooks defaults to nothing (docs/research/docs/github-copilot-plugins/configuration.md:47), so Copilot reads hooks only via an explicit "hooks": "hooks.json" pointer in plugin.json (docs/research/docs/github-copilot-plugins/examples.md:49). apm's manifest compiler strips pointer fields from every manifest it generates, so neither .claude-plugin/plugin.json nor .github/plugin/plugin.json carries one, and re-injecting it is the option ADR-0017 explicitly rejected. Copilot therefore loads no hooks from this plugin — and did not load them from the old root-level hooks.json either. The Copilot half of this row is aspirational, not current behaviour.
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
forge |
Grill an unclassified "I want to add something" request, decide whether it's a skill, agent, plugin, or marketplace entry, then route to the matching author skill |
skill-author |
Create or improve a skill from scratch, audit findings, or inline feedback |
skill-audit |
Audit a skill directory against the agentskills.io spec and produce a findings report |
agent-author |
Author an agent definition file |
agent-audit |
Audit an agent definition across structure, provider safety, description and body quality, and provenance; produces a findings report |
apm-install |
Install or upgrade the apm CLI and set up the agent runtimes it drives (Copilot CLI, Codex, Gemini, generic llm) |
apm-workflow |
Author apm.yml, scaffold an apm package/marketplace, install dependencies, and compile/pack/publish/audit apm content |
Pre-commit tooling (pc-author, pc-run) lives in the git plugin, not here.
