Why: ADR-0015 established that Microsoft APM (apm.yml + .apm/) should replace this repo's hand-authored plugin.json/marketplace.json model, with those files becoming compiled output of `apm pack` instead of files edited by hand via the (now-retired) plugin-author/marketplace-author skills. Issue #90 was the deferred execution of that decision, gated on #88 (apm tooling) and #89 (apm-native agent-author/skill-author routing). Implementation notes: - All six plugins (bin, core, git, gitea, kyberforge, lint) now carry apm.yml + .apm/{skills,agents,hooks} as their authoring source. Skills moved with a plain git mv (content-identical across targets). Agents were re-authored, not moved: per ADR-0016, .apm/agents/*.agent.md compiles verbatim to both Claude and Copilot, so plugin-scope agents now carry only name/description/model/source_keys -- no tools: field, no Claude-only knobs (isolation, maxTurns, effort, memory, permissionMode). - Root apm.yml registers all 7 marketplace packages (6 local plus mattpocock-skills as a remote entry) under versioning: per_package, matching this repo's existing independent-plugin-versioning practice. - .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and every plugin's plugin.json are now apm-pack-compiled output, verified against the prior hand-maintained content: same names/descriptions/versions/licenses/authors, only cosmetic serialization differences (JSON key order, owner email vs. url, Unicode escaping). - plugin-author and marketplace-author are retired now that apm-based authoring fully replaces their job; kyberforge bumped 1.3.1 -> 1.4.0 for that removal, and the root marketplace catalog bumped 0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 to match, per the version-bump convention now documented in apm-workflow's reference docs instead of a dedicated script (apm has no native version-bump automation). - Fixed hardcoded pre-.apm/ path assumptions across .pre-commit-config.yaml, .pre-commit-hooks.yaml, scripts/check-scope-walkup-sync.sh, scripts/sync-vale-styles.sh, scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh, six plugins' root plugin.json (stale skills/hooks/agents pointer fields that check-manifests.sh validates), and several tests/*.bats and tests/*.sh fixtures -- including a bats REPO_ROOT relative-path depth bug (10 files, one extra .apm/ directory level to walk up) and a vale probe-path isolation regression introduced mid-fix. - Corrected empirically-wrong assumptions surfaced this session in apm-workflow/apm-install's own reference docs: `apm marketplace package add` does not accept local paths (only owner/repo remote shorthand -- local packages are registered by editing apm.yml's marketplace.packages[] directly); `apm compile` is a consumer-side AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md generator, not the plugin.json producer, and hard-fails on skill/agent-only packages without --clean; `apm plugin init <name>` nests a stray subdirectory when run with a positional name arg from inside a same-named directory; no native Copilot marketplace output profile exists; .mcp.json is merged into the compiled plugin.json content-aware and target-scoped, with no dependencies.mcp entry needed for simple passthrough; pipx is the correct pip fallback on externally-managed Python environments. - Renamed agent-author's copilot.agent.md template asset to copilot.agent.md.template so apm compile's recursive *.agent.md glob stops misparsing the placeholder template as a real agent primitive. Impact: plugin.json and marketplace.json are compiled artifacts from here on -- editing them by hand is no longer the workflow; edit apm.yml/.apm/ and run apm pack. CONTEXT.md's Plugin/Plugin marketplace glossary entries reflect this. ADR-0001 is marked superseded, ADR-0006 moot, and ADR-0010 updated for the new .apm/agents/ path (project/user scope unaffected, per ADR-0016). Full local verification: claude plugin validate --strict on all 6 plugins, apm audit --ci, apm marketplace check, check-manifests.sh, and the full test suite (165/165 bats, 13/13 shell scripts) all pass clean.

| apm-install | Use when the user wants to install the apm (Agent Package Manager) CLI itself, pin or upgrade its version, set up an air-gapped/enterprise mirror install, or install and manage an agent runtime that apm drives (Copilot CLI, Codex, Gemini, generic llm) — "install apm", "set up apm", "pin apm to a version", "apm runtime setup", "which runtime will apm run pick". Do not use for authoring apm.yml, scaffolding a package/marketplace, compiling, packing, publishing, or running apm audit — use apm-workflow for those. |

Gotchas
- apm does not execute agents itself — it only installs and manages the runtimes that do. "Install apm" and "install a runtime apm manages" are two separate steps; don't conflate them or skip the second when the user actually wants a working agent CLI, not just the package manager.
- The air-gapped/enterprise mirror path needs
GITHUB_URLandVERSIONset together against a downloadedinstall.sh— it does not work through the piped one-liner form. pip install apm-clirequires Python 3.10+; the quick-install script has no such prerequisite. Prefer the quick-install script unless the environment is pip-first.- On a Debian/externally-managed Python environment (PEP 668),
pip install apm-clifails immediately witherror: externally-managed-environment. Fall back topipx install apm-cli— same PyPI package, but pipx creates an isolated venv and correctly exposes theapmbinary onPATH. - Installing the Copilot CLI runtime through
apm runtime setup copilotrequires Node.js v22+ and npm v10+ already present — apm does not install Node/npm for you.
Install apm
Default:
curl -sSL https://aka.ms/apm-unix | sh
Escape hatches — combine as needed:
- Pin a version: append
@vX.Y.Zto the piped script's arguments, e.g.curl -sSL https://aka.ms/apm-unix | sh -s -- @v1.2.3. - Custom install directory: set
APM_INSTALL_DIRon the piped script's command, e.g.curl -sSL https://aka.ms/apm-unix | APM_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin sh. - Air-gapped / GitHub Enterprise mirror: download
install.shfirst, then run it withGITHUB_URLandVERSIONset, e.g.GITHUB_URL=https://github.corp.com VERSION=v1.2.3 sh install.sh. - pip (Python 3.10+ environments):
pip install apm-cli. - pipx (externally-managed/PEP 668 environments where plain
pip installfails, e.g. Debian):pipx install apm-cli. - Manual: download the platform archive from the GitHub releases page, extract, place the binary on
PATH.
Verify with apm --version.
