Overview

What is APM?

[APM (Agent Package Manager)](https://microsoft.github.io/apm/) is an open-source project hosted under Microsoft's OSS org, created and maintained by [Daniel Meppiel](https://github.com/danielmeppiel). This repo curates the stacks we run on top of it. Think `npm` for everything that configures an AI agent — declare what you want in an `apm.yml`, and APM resolves, fetches, and wires it into whatever AI tool you're using.

Why APM?

AI dev tooling is the Wild West, and APM is the only credible attempt at a cross-agent dependency manager. Composable flavour packages mean you pull in only what each project needs.

Why "awesome-apm-stacks"?

A demo repo that highlights the composability of APM stacks across different software engineering use cases. Every dependency is sourced from a repo with 1,000+ GitHub stars.

AI dev tooling is still the Wild West

Every coding agent has its own way to load context. Claude Code reads `CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/`. Copilot reads `AGENTS.md` and `.github/`. Cursor reads `.cursorrules` and `.cursor/`. OpenCode wants `.opencode/`. The format you wrote your team's coding standards in last month may not be the format your team is using next month.

Meanwhile, the artifacts engineers actually want — TDD enforcers, code reviewers, security scanners, MCP integrations, slash-command libraries — live scattered across hundreds of GitHub repos, each in its own bespoke layout, each tied to one runtime. Want the same `code-reviewer` agent in Claude Code *and* Cursor? You're rewriting it twice. Want to switch agents next quarter? Start over.
