Module & Add-on Catalog (AEM 6.5 LTS / AMS)
Use this catalog when generating AGENTS.md. Only include entries whose directories actually exist in the project.
Core modules
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
core | OSGi bundle. Contains the Java code for backend services, models, and business logic. Uses OSGi for dependency injection, Sling models for exposing content to Sling scripts and JUnit for unit testing. |
dispatcher | Dispatcher configuration for Apache HTTP Server (caching, filters, virtual hosts). Validated with httpd -t or apachectl configtest. Layout may follow AMS immutable-file conventions or a classic on-prem structure. |
ui.apps | FileVault content package. Contains the application code, including components, templates, client libraries, and content structure. Uses HTL as the scripting engine. |
ui.apps.structure | FileVault content package. Empty module that defines the structure of the repository content. |
ui.config | FileVault content package. Contains OSGi configurations for the application. |
ui.content | FileVault content package. Contains the mutable content for the application, such as the initial site structure, templates, sample assets. |
it.tests | Integration tests module. Uses the AEM Testing clients to run tests against running AEM instances. Run in CI or locally before releases. |
ui.tests | UI tests module. Often Cypress or similar for end-to-end tests against running AEM instances. Run in CI or locally; AMS teams may wire this into Cloud Manager where applicable. |
all | FileVault content package. Includes all other FileVault packages for easy deployment. |
Frontend module variants
Only ONE of these applies per project. Match by detected frontend type.
| Variant | Module name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| General (Webpack) | ui.frontend | Frontend module built with Webpack. Compiles TypeScript/JavaScript and Sass/SCSS. During the build it's copied to the ui.apps module as client libraries. Uses Node.js, npm, and webpack. |
| React SPA | ui.frontend | React-based SPA module. Uses @adobe/aem-react-editable-components for SPA Editor integration. During the build it's copied to the ui.apps module as client libraries. Run npm start to develop locally with a proxy to AEM (port 3000 is common). Uses Node.js, npm, and webpack. |
| Angular SPA | ui.frontend | Angular-based SPA module. Uses @adobe/aem-angular-editable-components for SPA Editor integration. During the build it's copied to the ui.apps module as client libraries. Run npm start to develop locally with a proxy to AEM (port 4200 is common). Uses Node.js, npm, and webpack. |
| Decoupled | ui.frontend | Decoupled frontend (headless or externally hosted). Consumes AEM content via HTTP/APIs; deployment may be separate from the AEM packages. May not emit client libraries into ui.apps depending on setup. |
Add-ons (include only if detected)
| Add-on | Section text for AGENTS.md |
|---|---|
| CIF (Commerce) | Commerce Integration Framework (CIF): The commerce backend endpoint is configured in ui.config OSGi configurations. CIF Core Components support commerce experiences (product pages, catalog, search, cart, checkout) for AEM 6.5 Content and Commerce. |
| AEM Forms | AEM Forms: Adaptive Forms, templates, themes, and configurations for building form experiences on AEM 6.5. |
| Headless Forms | Headless Adaptive Forms: The ui.frontend.react.forms.af module provides a React-based rendering layer for forms consumed via form model JSON, where this add-on is used. |
| Precompiled Scripts | Precompiled Scripts: HTL scripts from ui.apps can be precompiled into a bundle during the build for improved runtime performance (archetype / Core Components pattern). |
When an add-on is detected, add a ## Add-ons and extensions section between the intro paragraph and ## Modules, listing each detected add-on as a bullet.
CIF-specific module note
If CIF is detected, append to the core module description: , including commerce-specific models and servlets.
Headless Forms module
If Headless Forms is detected, add this module to the Modules list:
ui.frontend.react.forms.af: React-based headless Adaptive Forms rendering module. Consumes form models and renders forms in a headless manner. Uses Node.js, npm, and webpack.
