The apm conversion (5e23250) moved skills/agents to plugins/<name>/.apm/
and deleted plugin-author/marketplace-author, but a review against issue
#90's Definition of Done found several stale pre-conversion references
left behind by straight git-mv's, plus one real content gap:
- ADR-0014 still documented the old flat vale-prefilter paths in 6
places, despite ADR-0015 claiming it had been updated.
- ADR-0015 also overclaimed: it said ADR-0014 had both a skills/ and an
agents/ path regex updated, but ADR-0014 never had an agents/ path
regex to begin with (its one "agents" mention is a Vale glob-section
identifier, not a filesystem path). Corrected the wording.
- CONTEXT.md's Skill glossary entry, its Vale-prefilter section, and its
plugin-author/marketplace-author forward-pointer all still described
the pre-conversion layout or a "pending issue #90" state that has since
landed.
- LESSONS.md and two skill test READMEs pointed at skill-author/
skill-audit/agent-author paths without the .apm/ segment.
- apm-workflow/references/marketplace.md cited plugin-author/SKILL.md's
Gotchas for the Claude Code reserved plugin-name-prefix list, but that
list was never actually carried into apm-workflow during the
conversion despite ADR-0015 claiming it was. Recovered the list from
git history and inlined it directly rather than leaving a dangling
citation.
- agent-author/references/deployment-modes.md had an example
contradicting its own stated .apm/agents/ convention two lines above.
Refs: #90
apm-workflow
Authors, scaffolds, compiles, and audits apm packages and marketplaces.
What it does
Covers the apm.yml lifecycle a session moves through repeatedly: configuring/scaffolding a package manifest, resolving/fetching its declared dependencies, building or registering a marketplace, compiling/packing/publishing a distributable, and validating integrity via apm audit. Dispatches by requested action to one of five reference files, each self-contained for its concern.
Before you start
Requires the apm binary and (for runtime-driven scripts) an agent runtime already installed — use apm-install first if either is missing.
Usage
/apm-workflow configure
/apm-workflow install
/apm-workflow marketplace
/apm-workflow compile
/apm-workflow audit
