APM is a package manager for AI-agent configuration, using a manifest to declare reusable instructions, skills, prompts, agents, hooks, plugins, and MCP components. Development teams use it to reproduce agent setups across projects and control their dependencies through policies and lockfiles, while the catalogue contains many of these agent components.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00092 | $0.01823 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00729 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00365 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
autopilot-issue-triage-scheduler scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
autopilot-issue-triage-scheduler
User-facing issue TRIAGE queue. This skill SELECTS issues and THROTTLES fan-out. It does not implement and does not review PRs.
Compose autopilot-issue-triage-worker
one issue per slot. Never borrow slots from
autopilot-issue-delivery-scheduler,
autopilot-pr-review-scheduler, or
autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler.
Activation card
activation_card: on. Before any queue read or spawn, emit
this Enter card with every field filled. Missing field -> stop.

Invocation
Works in local sessions, Copilot App automations, Cloud Agent, Remote Agent, and Agentic Workflows.
Resolve ORIGIN before any GitHub write. No assignment needed. This scheduler and its slots never assign and never request reviewers, in any ORIGIN.
INTENT is triage.
Ownership writes:
- Issue triage: none (no assignment needed)
- Code (accepted implementation): assign the implementing user
- PR review: request the reviewing user as reviewer, never assignee
Selection (same contract as Triage Panel AW)
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

autopilot-issue-triage-scheduler is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/apm (4,133 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 1,823 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-17.
