Scaffolding a new package

apm plugin init <name> --yes

Scaffolds apm.yml + a .apm/ skeleton in the current directory. Run this once per package (e.g. once per plugins/<name>/ directory in a monorepo-hybrid layout), not once for the whole repo.

apm.yml — required fields

Only name and version (SemVer) are required:

name: my-pkg
version: 1.0.0

apm.yml — full schema

name: my-pkg
version: 1.0.0

Dependency reference forms

dependencies.apm entries accept: a pinned tag (owner/repo#tag), a plain repo (uses default branch), a single primitive path within a repo, a raw git URL, a git:/path:/ref: object for finer control, or a local relative path (./packages/my-shared-skills).

MCP server secrets

Use ${VAR} indirection for headers/env vars — never a literal secret value in apm.yml:

mcp:
  - name: linear
    registry: false
    transport: http
    url: https://mcp.linear.app/sse
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer ${LINEAR_TOKEN}"
  - name: my-internal
    registry: false
    transport: stdio
    command: my-server
    env:
      API_TOKEN: "${MY_API_TOKEN}"

Registries (config-level, not apm.yml)

Any git repo is a valid package source by default — no registry required. To declare named registries for shorthand dependency resolution:

apm experimental enable registries   # required first — see SKILL.md Gotchas
apm config set registry.corp-main.url https://artifactory.corp.example.com/apm
apm config set registry.corp-main.token eyJ...
apm config set registry.corp-main.default true

apm config get/apm config unset manage individual keys the same way.
