Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00008 | $0.00152 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00076 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
[object Object] 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 2d 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.

What This Package Does
This is a starter APM package that demonstrates how to create reusable agent primitives.
Getting Started
apm install your-org/{{project_name}}
apm compile
Available Primitives
- Instructions: Guardrails and standards in
.apm/instructions/ - Prompts: Executable workflows in
.apm/prompts/ - Agents: Specialized personas in
.apm/agents/
Included Workflows
hello-world.prompt.md- A simple hello world workflowfeature-implementation.prompt.md- A feature implementation workflow
What ships with it
12 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.

[object Object] is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/apm (3,687 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 152 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.

Generate comprehensive documentation for Microsoft Copilot Studio agents from exported Dataverse solutions using the Power Platform CLI. Use when asked, to analyse the solution with the agents file and create documentation from the contents.
mcp-server-review
Review a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation against the 2026-07-28 protocol revision, which removed the initialize handshake and Mcp-Session-Id and made the protocol stateless. Use when the user asks to review, audit, upgrade or migrate an MCP server, asks whether their MCP server is spec compliant…
skill-evaluator
Evaluates agent skills against Anthropic's best practices. Use when asked to review, evaluate, assess, or audit a skill for quality. Analyzes SKILL.md structure, naming conventions, description quality, content organization, and identifies anti-patterns. Produces actionable improvement recommendations.
prompt-pack
Generates a self-contained prompt pack from a spec. Embeds real code patterns from .vibeflow/ so any coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) follows the project's conventions without needing repo context. Use when handing off implementation to a separate session or agent.
