Defame1297 5e232503c4 feat(kyberforge): execute plugin-to-apm marketplace conversion
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.

skill-audit

Audit a skill directory against the agentskills.io specification. Runs structural validation then a qualitative review across description quality, body discipline, patterns, formatting, file structure, scripts, and internal consistency, plus a provenance chain check.

What it does

  1. Runs scripts/validate.sh and scripts/validate-provenance.sh for structural and provenance checks, plus scripts/vale-wrap.sh — a Vale prefilter that deterministically flags known-bad description openers, vague wording, padding phrases, and "There is/are" sentence openers
  2. Reads all files in the skill directory
  3. Applies qualitative checks across seven dimensions
  4. Outputs a compact findings report — findings only, grouped by dimension, each with Why and Fix — and a result block with handoff to /skill-improve

Usage

/skill-audit

Provide the path to the skill directory to audit when invoking.

Files

File Purpose
SKILL.md Skill instructions for agents
scripts/validate.sh Structural validator — checks name format, name matches directory, description length, line count, placeholder detection, script executable bit, and interactive-prompt detection
scripts/validate-provenance.sh Provenance validator — checks sources.md completeness, source_keys/slug consistency, Contributing files existence, bidirectional linkage, Research doc: fields, and upstream research doc alignment
scripts/vale-wrap.sh Vale prefilter wrapper — runs the bundled Kyberforge Vale styles against SKILL.md and reports alerts as deterministic FAILs ahead of Step 3's qualitative review
assets/vale/.vale.ini Vale configuration — points Vale at the bundled Kyberforge style path, self-located relative to vale-wrap.sh
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/DescriptionOpener.yml Vale rule — flags literal "This skill..."/"This agent..." description openers
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/PaddingPhrase.yml Vale rule — flags generic "see references/" padding phrasing in conditional references
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/SentenceOpenerThereIs.yml Vale rule — flags body sentences starting with "There is"/"There are"
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/VagueWording.yml Vale rule — flags known filler wording (e.g. "helps with", "utilize")
references/description-quality.md Spec-grounded rubric for description auditing — loaded when a finding is borderline
references/body-discipline.md Spec-grounded rubric for body discipline auditing — loaded when padding vs necessity is unclear
