Think package.json , requirements.txt , or Cargo.toml — but for AI agent configuration. GitHub Copilot Claude Code Grok Build Cursor OpenCode Codex Gemini Windsurf Kiro Documentation · Quick Start · CLI Reference · Roadmap --- Portable by manifest. Secure by default. Governed by policy. One file describes every agent's context; one command reproduces it everywhere; one policy controls what an org will allow. Why APM 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. Coming from npx skills add ? Drop-in: Same install gesture. You also get a manifest, lockfile, and reproducibility. Zero-config Copilot: One command, no configuration -- VS Code and GitHub Copilot read the file automatically. APM dogfoods this target on its own repository. The three promises 1.
