Use this skill whenever a pull request is opened, reopened, or synchronized in microsoft/apm to assess whether and how the documentation corpus must change to stay truthful with the proposed code change. Activate even when the PR title or body says nothing about docs -- the skill must run on every PR to detect silent drift between code and docs. Classifies impact as no-change, in-place edit (one to a few paragraphs), or structural change (new page or TOC reshape), then orchestrates a CDO + doc-writer + python-architect + editorial-owner + growth-hacker loop to produce a patch-ready advisory. Does NOT review code quality, security, or test coverage. Does NOT auto-merge or auto-push doc edits.
Activate for OSS adoption work -- README conversion surfaces, quickstart, templates, release announcements, contributor funnel, story angles -- and any update to the maintained growth strategy at WIP/growth-strategy.md.
Activate when creating new modules, refactoring class hierarchies, introducing design patterns, or making changes spanning 3+ files in the APM CLI codebase.
Activate when reviewing or modifying dependency resolution, lockfile schema, package downloaders, signature/integrity checks, file integration cleanup, or anything that could expose APM to dependency confusion, typosquatting, malicious packages, or token leakage.
Activate when the user asks about APM (Agent Package Manager): installing, configuring, authoring, or troubleshooting AI-agent packages, dependencies, compilation, MCP servers, policy, or any `apm` CLI command.

A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
