Editor's note

APM (Agent Package Manager) is an open-source dependency manager from Microsoft that brings package-manager conventions to AI agent configuration. Developers declare agent dependencies once in an `apm.yml` manifest, covering instructions, skills, prompts, hooks, plugins, and MCP servers, and a single `apm install` command reproduces the full setup across Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and Windsurf. The tool resolves transitive dependencies the way npm or pip does, pins resolved sources and content hashes in an `apm.lock.yaml` lockfile, and scans installs for hidden Unicode that can manipulate LLM behavior. A notable feature is `apm compile -t copilot`, which writes `.github/copilot-instructions.md` automatically with no additional configuration. Enterprise teams can enforce source allowlists and primitive restrictions through an `apm-policy.yml` file with tighten-only inheritance from enterprise down to repository level. The project targets developers and security teams who need reproducible, auditable agent context across multi-agent, multi-tool projects.

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.
