Agent Package Manager

Procedures

Step 1: Assess the repository and the requested APM outcome

1. Inspect the repository root for apm.yml, apm.lock.yaml, .github/, .claude/, .cursor/, .opencode/, and apm_modules/.
2. Execute apm --version and apm config to confirm the installed CLI and current configuration.
3. If apm.yml exists, read references/manifest-and-lockfile.md before changing dependencies, scripts, or compilation settings.
4. If the request is about package installation, updates, pruning, or removal, read references/command-workflows.md before executing APM commands.
5. If no apm.yml exists and the user wants APM in the repository, initialize the project with apm init or apm init --yes.
6. If the repository already uses another agent configuration flow and the user did not ask to migrate it, limit the change to the requested APM scope instead of replacing the existing setup.
