agnostic-prompt-aps 1.2.1.dev32

CLI to install and manage the Agnostic Prompt Standard (APS) skill and platform templates.

APS CLI (Python)

This package provides the aps CLI for installing the Agnostic Prompt Standard (APS) skill into:

• a repository workspace: .github/skills/agnostic-prompt-standard/
• or as a personal skill: ~/.copilot/skills/agnostic-prompt-standard/

Install / run

Global install (recommended):

pipx install agnostic-prompt-aps
aps init
aps update

One-off run:

pipx run agnostic-prompt-aps init
pipx run agnostic-prompt-aps update

Commands

aps init [--repo|--personal] [--platform <id>] [--yes] [--force] [--dry-run]
aps doctor [--root <path>] [--json]
aps update [--root <path>] [--repo|--personal] [--check] [--dry-run] [--json] [--yes] [--force]
aps platforms
aps version

Platform-specific paths

Use --platform <id> to specify a platform adapter:

# VS Code / Copilot (default paths: .github/skills, ~/.copilot/skills)
aps init --platform vscode-copilot

# Claude Code (paths: .claude/skills, ~/.claude/skills)
aps init --platform claude-code

Windows troubleshooting

On Windows, pipx run agnostic-prompt-aps may fail with FileNotFoundError due to a known pipx bug with .exe launcher paths.

Workarounds:

1. Use pipx install instead (recommended):

   pipx install agnostic-prompt-aps
   aps init
   

2. Use Python module syntax:

   python -m aps_cli init
   

3. Try the full-name entry point:

   pipx run agnostic-prompt-aps agnostic-prompt-aps init
   

4. Upgrade pipx to the latest version:

   python -m pip install --upgrade pipx
   

Update behavior

aps update checks PyPI for the latest published APS CLI release and compares it with the running CLI version.

• If a newer CLI release exists, the command can refresh the CLI package first and then re-run the update with the newer bundled APS payload.
• Installed APS skill directories are then refreshed from that payload.
• Use --check to report only, --dry-run to preview file updates, and --force to refresh installed skills even when versions already match.

Examples:

# Refresh installed APS skills
aps update

# Check for updates without writing
aps update --check

# Run from the newest published package immediately
pipx run --no-cache agnostic-prompt-aps update --yes
