AI coding agents need context to be useful — standards, prompts, skills, plugins — but today every developer sets this up manually. Nothing is portable nor reproducible. There's no manifest for it.

**APM fixes this.** Declare your project's agentic dependencies once in `apm.yml`, and every developer who clones your repo gets a fully configured agent setup in seconds — with transitive dependency resolution, just like npm or pip.

It's also the first tool that lets you **author plugins** with a real dependency manager and export standard `plugin.json` packages.

## Highlights

- **One manifest for everything** — instructions, skills, prompts, agents, hooks, plugins, MCP servers
- **Install from anywhere** — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, any git host
- **Transitive dependencies** — packages can depend on packages; APM resolves the full tree
- **Compile to standards** — `apm compile` produces `AGENTS.md` (GitHub Copilot, OpenCode), `CLAUDE.md` (Claude Code), and `.cursor/rules/` (Cursor)
- **Content security** — `apm audit` scans for hidden Unicode characters; `apm install` blocks compromised packages before agents can read them
- **Create & share** — `apm pack` bundles your current configuration as a zipped package
- **CI/CD ready** — [GitHub Action](https://github.com/microsoft/apm-action) for automated workflows

- **[Author plugins](https://microsoft.github.io/apm/guides/plugins/)** — build Copilot, Claude, and Cursor plugins with dependency management and security scanning, then export standard `plugin.json`
- **[Pack & distribute](https://microsoft.github.io/apm/guides/pack-distribute/)** — `apm pack` bundles your configuration as a zipped package or a standalone plugin
