# compile-apm-package Skill 📄
## Overview
This skill generates merged context documents from APM primitives. This is primarily required for harnesses that consume a single authoritative file (like Gemini's `GEMINI.md`) rather than distributed skill directories.
## 🚫 Non-Negotiables
1. **Artifact Status** — Compiled files (`AGENTS.md`, etc.) are generated artifacts. NEVER edit them directly if a `.apm/` source tree exists.
2. **Conditional Use** — Do not run compile if the user's harness (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot Chat) supports native directory-based skills.
3. **Validation First** — Ensure the package is valid before merging primitives.
## Decision Tree
1. **Target supports directory-based skills?** -> Use `install-apm-package`.
2. **Target needs top-level context?** (e.g., Gemini, Codex) -> Run `apm compile`.
3. **Authoring shared context?** -> Use `apm compile` to verify how fragments merge into the final doc.
## Workflow
1. Verify `apm.yml` existence.
2. Execute `python scripts/validate_apm_package.py`.
3. Identify target requirements.
4. Run `apm compile [--target <slug>]`.
5. Report the location of generated context files.
## Anti-Patterns
- **Unnecessary Compilation**: Running `apm compile` for a Claude Code project (redundant work).
- **Direct Artifact Editing**: Fixing a typo in `GEMINI.md` instead of the source `.prompt.md`.
