Use this skill when editing or creating CLI output, logging, warnings, error messages, progress indicators, or diagnostic summaries in the APM codebase. Activate whenever code touches console helpers (_rich_success, _rich_warning, _rich_error, _rich_info, _rich_echo), DiagnosticCollector, STATUS_SYMBOLS, CommandLogger, or any user-facing terminal output — even if the user doesn't mention "logging" or "UX" explicitly.

Use this skill to cut an APM release from the current worktree: assess whether the cycle since the last tag warrants a patch or minor bump (semver discipline against the merged-since-last-tag diff), sanitize the [Unreleased] CHANGELOG block into a dated version block with one concise "so what" entry per merged PR (drop internal-only churn, consolidate duplicates), bump pyproject.toml + uv.lock, run the CI-mirror lint chain, and open the release PR. Activate on "ship a release", "cut v0.x", "release prep", "bump and PR", "open release PR", "what kind of release do we need", or any phrasing that ends in opening a release PR -- even when the user does not say "skill". Stops BEFORE tagging; tagging stays a human gate that triggers the release workflow. Refuses to bump to a major (>= 1.0.0) version without explicit operator confirmation.

Use this skill to run a holistic regrounding pass on the entire microsoft/apm documentation corpus against current source code, page-by-page, and emit surgical fixes for stale claims. Activate when the maintainer wants a WHOLE-CORPUS audit (not per-PR review) -- typical triggers include "audit the docs", "reground the corpus", "check every page against code", "pre-release docs sweep", "the docs have drifted everywhere", or "we just reshaped the TOC, find dead links". Wave-batched and S7-verified; scales to the full ~112-page corpus in ~10 minutes wall-time. This is a SIBLING to docs-sync, not a replacement: docs-sync is per-PR (triggered by a diff); this skill is per-corpus (triggered by a maintainer ask). They share agent personas, schemas, and the docs index, but their triggers MUST NOT collide. Does NOT auto-merge, does NOT push without maintainer review, and does NOT replace per-PR drift detection.

Use this skill to verify CLAIM-LEVEL grounding of a documentation page (or set of pages) against the source code. Activate when you have specific pages to check for factual accuracy -- not when sweeping a whole corpus (use docs-corpus-audit for that) and not when triaging a PR diff (use docs-sync for that). Trigger nouns: "is this doc accurate", "verify the page against the code", "fact-check this section", "any claims that drifted from source", "fact-checking", "grounding audit", "drift hunt", "claim verification". Returns per-claim verdicts (GROUNDED | PARTIAL | CONTRADICTED | UNSUPPORTED) with file:line evidence citations. Catches paragraph-level inaccuracies that page-level audit averages over -- e.g. a paragraph with 5 claims where 4 are grounded and 1 is fabricated. Does NOT modify files (returns advisory only); does NOT re-architect the docs; does NOT triage PRs.

Use this skill when the docs-impact-classifier returns a structural verdict, signalling that the documentation TOC must change to accommodate the PR. Proposes TOC deltas (new pages, moves, merges) and emits new-page outline stubs that the doc-sync panel later fleshes out. Holds the 3-promise narrative (consume / produce / govern) and the persona ramps as hard constraints.

Use this skill to classify the documentation impact of a pull request diff, returning one of three verdicts -- no-change, in-place edit, or structural change -- with bounded LLM cost. Activate as a sibling skill of docs-sync; the orchestrator calls this first, before any panel spawn, to keep cost floor at 1 LLM call when no docs work is needed. Reads .apm/docs-index.yml as the corpus map; never reads the full corpus.

Use this skill to translate a classifier's in-place verdict into a precise, page-by-page work plan for the docs-sync panel. Activate after docs-impact-classifier returns verdict in_place; reads the candidate page list, fetches the actual page contents, narrows scope to specific sections within each page, and emits the per-page task brief the panel fans out against.

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.

Use this skill to write the PR description (PR body) for any pull request opened against microsoft/apm. Produces one self-sufficient GitHub-Flavored Markdown artifact: TL;DR, Problem (WHY), Approach (WHAT), Implementation (HOW), validated mermaid diagrams when structure is non-trivial, explicit trade-offs, validation evidence, and a How-to-test section -- with every WHY-claim backed by a verbatim quote from PROSE or Agent Skills. Activate when the user asks to "write a PR description", "draft a PR body", "open a PR", "fill in the PR template", or any equivalent.

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.
Use this skill to run a four-panel adversarial advisory review on any pull request that touches the OpenAPM specification artifact (docs/src/content/docs/specs/openapm-*.md), its inline / sidecar JSON Schemas (docs/src/content/docs/specs/schemas/*.schema.json), or the conformance fixture seed (tests/fixtures/spec-conformance/**). The panel fans out to four spec-ecosystem reviewers (swagger-openapi-editor, oci-distribution-editor, pkgmgr-registry-contract-editor, w3c-tag-architect), each running in its own agent thread, and a spec-editor synthesizer that produces a fold-now / defer-v0.1.1 / defer-v0.2 / reject list plus a ship decision keyed off a 1..10 shocked_meter scale. The orchestrator is the sole writer to the PR: ONE consolidated comment, no verdict labels, no merge gating. The panel is advisory -- it surfaces findings, prioritizes folds, and renders a ship recommendation that the maintainer weighs.

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Can I search my own team's files too?
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
