What your AI will deliver
- A setup repository with apm.yml (targets and dependencies) and the committed apm.lock.yaml
- The dependencies installed at user scope for each target agent
- Single skills picked from larger repositories by subdirectory reference
- An update routine and a restore routine that replays the lockfile
How it runs
In your AI, with your accounts. It starts by researching your business. How kits work ›

Researches your business first, then asks you 3 questions it can't answer alone
- 2. Choose
Nothing to choose: the kit follows one path
- 3. Build
7 steps, risky ones ask you first
- 4. Deliver
4 checks before delivery
Tools it uses
You pay each tool directly, not CloneKit. Your AI checks which ones you already have.

- Ask before installing software, overwriting ~/.apm/apm.yml or disabling native installs
- Never store tokens in apm.yml or the setup repository; APM reads them from environment variables
- Only use commands from the APM docs; check `apm <command> --help` when unsure
