apm

Package manager for AI agent skills, prompts, and plugins

Installs, versions, and distributes AI agent configuration like skills, prompts, instructions, and MCP servers across Copilot, Claude, Cursor, and other coding agents. Eliminates manual copy-paste setup by declaring every agent dependency in one apm.yml manifest with a lockfile for reproducible installs. Scans packages for hidden malicious content, enforces org policies, and audits configuration drift before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install APM?▼

Run `npx skills add microsoft/apm --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

What is APM used for?▼

APM is a package manager for AI coding agents. It lets you declare skills, prompts, agents, and MCP servers in one apm.yml file and reproduce that exact setup on any machine with a single install command.

Which AI agents does APM support?▼

APM works with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Kiro, OpenCode, and Grok. One manifest deploys your agent context to every detected client automatically.

How does APM keep agent packages secure?▼

Every install scans for hidden Unicode that could hijack agent behavior, pins integrity hashes in a lockfile, and gates transitive MCP servers behind explicit trust prompts. Teams can also enforce allow-lists through an apm-policy.yml file.

Can I share agent skills across my team with APM?▼

Yes. Publish your skills, prompts, and instructions as an APM package from any git host, and teammates get the full setup by running apm install after cloning the repo.
