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.

Use when installing or configuring Vale, the cross-platform prose/style linter — setting up
|
|
.vale.ini, choosing a StylesPath, adding built-in, third-party, or custom styles, and activating
|
|
them per file glob via BasedOnStyles. Covers the setup side of Vale only: getting a project from
|
|
"no Vale config" to "vale sync runs clean and BasedOnStyles is wired up correctly". Use even if the
|
|
user doesn't say "Vale" explicitly — "set up prose linting", "lint our docs for style", "enforce a
|
|
vocabulary/terminology list in markdown" all apply. Do not use when the user wants to actually run
|
|
Vale and interpret its output on existing config — use vale-run for that.

## Gotchas
|
|
|
|
- Installing the `vale` binary installs no styles, but only *package* styles need fetching. A fresh `.vale.ini` naming a style in `BasedOnStyles` that is declared in `Packages` will fail or find nothing until `vale sync` downloads it. A built-in style (`Vale`) or a style whose YAML rule files are already committed under `StylesPath` lints immediately, with no `Packages` entry and no sync.
|
|
- `.vale.ini` is order-sensitive: global (core) settings first, then the optional `[formats]` section, then glob sections (`[*]`, `[*.md]`, …). Settings in a glob section only apply to files matching that glob.
|
|
- `Packages` (top-level, fetched by `vale sync`) and `BasedOnStyles` (per-glob, activates) are separate keys — a style only lints files once it's in both. This is the step people forget.
|
|
- A rule scoped to `text.frontmatter.<key>` (e.g. `text.frontmatter.description`) matches reliably when that field's value is a single physical line, and breaks on most — not all — multi-line forms. Confirmed against Vale 3.15.2 with a deliberately-bad fixture: a `>` folded block scalar, plain (unquoted) continuation lines, and single- or double-quoted multi-line scalars each yield 0 findings and exit 0, silently and with no error; a `|` literal block scalar spanning the same 2+ lines lints normally and exits 1. Do not assume `|` and `>` behave alike — reproduce both against your own config before trusting a frontmatter-scoped rule in production. If the field is commonly authored in one of the broken forms, flatten it to one physical line ahead of the `vale` call rather than relying on the scope alone.

## Setup workflow
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Install** the `vale` binary: `brew install vale` (macOS), `snap install vale` (Linux), `choco install vale` (Windows), or `docker pull jdkato/vale`.
|
|
- [ ] **Pick a `StylesPath`** (conventionally `styles`) and create it. This is where all styles, dictionaries, and vocab live.
|
|
- [ ] **Write `.vale.ini`** at the project root with at minimum:
|
|
```ini
|
|
StylesPath = styles
|
|
MinAlertLevel = suggestion
|
|
|
|
[*.md]
|
|
BasedOnStyles = Vale
|
|
```
|
|
`Vale` here is the built-in style (`Vale.Spelling`, `Vale.Terms`, `Vale.Avoid`, `Vale.Repetition`) — no download needed, it always works.
|
|
- [ ] **Add third-party styles** (optional) by declaring them in `Packages`, then activating them in the same or another glob's `BasedOnStyles`:
|
|
```ini
|
|
Packages = Google, write-good
|
|
|
|
[*.md]
|
|
BasedOnStyles = Vale, Google, write-good
|
|
```
|
|
- [ ] **Sync**: run `vale sync` to download everything listed in `Packages` into `StylesPath`.
|
|
- [ ] **Verify activation**: confirm every style named in `Packages` also appears in at least one glob's `BasedOnStyles` — an unreferenced package downloads but never lints anything.
|
|
|
|
For the full `.vale.ini` field reference (formats mapping, vocab, local overrides, custom rule header fields), read `references/configuration-reference.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Custom styles
|
|
|
|
A custom style is just a new subdirectory under `StylesPath`, holding one YAML file per rule:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
styles/
|
|
└── MyStyle/
|
|
└── NoJargon.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each rule file needs `extends` (the check it implements, e.g. `existence`) and `message` at minimum. Activate the style the same way as any other: add `MyStyle` to `BasedOnStyles` for the relevant glob. See `references/configuration-reference.md` for the full rule header field table.
