apm

Activate when code touches token management, credential resolution, git auth flows, GITHUB_APM_PAT, ADO_APM_PAT, AuthResolver, HostInfo, AuthContext, or any remote host authentication -- even if 'auth' isn't mentioned explicitly.

Use this skill to triage a single newly opened, reopened, or `status/needs-triage`-labelled issue in microsoft/apm. Emit one synthesized comment with a triage decision, label set, milestone, and suggested next action.

Activate for changes to project positioning, release communication, community-facing artifacts, or breaking-change decisions in microsoft/apm. Triggers on README, MANIFESTO, PRD, CHANGELOG, release workflows, and issue templates.

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.

Use this skill to run a multi-persona expert advisory review on a labelled pull request in microsoft/apm. The panel fans out to five mandatory specialists plus a test-coverage specialist (active on every PR that touches src/) plus three conditional specialists (auth, doc-writer, performance-expert), all running in their own agent threads, and a CEO synthesizer. The orchestrator is the sole writer to the PR: ONE recommendation comment, no verdict labels, no merge gating. The panel is advisory -- it surfaces findings, prioritizes follow-ups, and renders a ship-recommendation that the maintainer and author weigh. Activate when a non-trivial PR needs a cross-cutting recommendation (architecture, CLI logging, DevX UX, supply-chain security, growth/positioning, optionally auth, docs, perf, and test coverage, with CEO arbitration).

Use this skill to drive any open microsoft/apm issue (bug, feature, docs, refactor, perf) from raw intake to a mergeable PR with triage as the central, paramount gate. Run the apm-triage-panel rubric per issue first, then present ONE consolidated triage review for the whole batch and escalate to the maintainer BY DEFAULT on any doubt (needs-design, decline, duplicate, defer, auto-handle, breaking- change, auth/security/governance surface, low arbiter confidence, unbounded scope, or a missing brief); only auto-implement clear, bounded, high-confidence accepts the maintainer approved. Then drive each accepted PR to mergeability batch-bug- shepherd style via the shepherd-driver loop: fold copilot + panel follow-ups by default, watch CI green, iterate under a bounded cap. Invoke MANUALLY, in-session, on an issue list or queue -- never by label or event. Activate when the maintainer asks to auto-tackle the issue queue, clear the backlog to PRs, or run issues to merge -- even if "autopilot" is not named.
