It lets teams install, share, and govern reusable instructions, prompts, agents, skills, and MCP server configurations across projects. ## When to activate - User mentions `apm` or "Agent Package Manager" - Questions about installing or managing AI-agent packages - Setting up instructions, prompts, agents, skills, or chatmodes - Configuring MCP servers through apm.yml - Authentication for private repos (GitHub, ADO, GHES, Artifactory) - Policy enforcement or `apm audit` - Package authoring or publishing - Compiling agent context (`apm compile`) - Troubleshooting apm errors ## Key rules - **Commit these files:** apm.yml, apm.lock.yaml, .apm/, deployed harness directories including .grok/, and AGENTS.md - **Never commit:** apm_modules/ (add to .gitignore) - **Team sync:** after `git clone`, run `apm install` to restore dependencies - **Update deps:** `apm install --update` refreshes to latest refs - **Pin versions:** use tags (`#v1.0.0`) in production, branches for development - **ASCII only:** all CLI output and source must stay within printable ASCII ## Reference For detailed guidance, see the following resources: - [Installation](./installation.md) -- install and update APM - [Workflow](./workflow.md) -- core workflow, apm.yml format, what to commit - [Commands](./commands.md) -- full CLI command reference - [Dependencies](./dependencies.md) -- all dependency formats and version pinning - [Authentication](./authentication.md) -- token setup for private repos - [Governance](./governance.md) -- policy engine and audit checks - [Package Authoring](./package-authoring.md) -- creating APM packages - [Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md) -- common errors and fixes
