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.

Scaffolding a new package
apm plugin init --yes --target claude,copilot
Run from inside the target package directory, with no positional name argument (see Gotchas). Creates apm.yml + plugin.json in the current directory — it does NOT scaffold a .apm/ skeleton. Primitive subdirectories (.apm/skills/, .apm/agents/, .apm/hooks/) must be created manually as content is migrated into them. 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

See docs/research/docs/microsoft-apm/configuration.md for the complete annotated schema.
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
${VAR} indirection is required for MCP server secrets in apm.yml — see SKILL.md Gotchas.
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.
Gotchas
apm plugin init <name>run with a positional name argument, from inside a directory already named<name>, creates a wrongly-nested<name>/<name>/subdirectory — it treats the positional arg as "create a new project directory named X," not "confirm the current directory is X." Fix: omit the positional argument entirely when already cd'd into the target package directory — runapm plugin init --yes --target claude,copilotinstead.
