Description 514 -> 213 chars, Gotchas 5 entries/47% -> 2 entries/17%. Body 350 -> 397 words: three Gotchas fold into the steps they gate, and the repairs below add back what the fold dropped. Cuts the second trigger register, the runtime enumeration (still named in the body and README) and the enumeration inside the boundary clause. Fixes four defects the first pass introduced: - The mirror bullet claimed the piped one-liner "ignores" VERSION and GITHUB_URL. The installer reads both from the environment and its own usage header documents VERSION working through the pipe. The real constraint is that an air-gapped host cannot reach aka.ms, so the script must be on disk. Also corrects the variable names -- APM_RELEASE_BASE_URL is the mirror base, GITHUB_URL is the Enterprise host. - "If apm --version already answers, skip to Step 2" was unconditional on intent, so a pin or upgrade request routed past the only pin instruction in the skill. Now gated on intent. - The PEP 668 rule was demoted to post-failure recovery, leaving a routing rule that sent a Debian box into a command that hard-fails. The prohibition is back on the pip bullet, before the choice. - The apm-is-not-a-runtime Gotcha lost its operative clause. The two step headings cited as carrying it already existed pre-retrofit, so nothing had replaced it and nothing stated when Step 2 is required.

apm-install
Installs and configures the apm (Agent Package Manager) CLI and the agent runtimes it manages.
What it does
Covers the two provisioning steps for working with apm: installing the apm binary itself (quick-install script, pinned version, air-gapped mirror, or pip/pipx), and installing/managing an agent runtime apm drives (apm runtime setup copilot|codex|gemini|llm, listing installed runtimes, checking which one apm run defaults to).
Usage
/apm-install
Once apm and a runtime are in place, use apm-workflow for authoring apm.yml, scaffolding packages/marketplaces, compiling, packing, publishing, and auditing.
