JFrog: Managing AI Agent Primitives with APM

JFrog blog introduces APM (Agent Package Manager), an open-source tool that treats AI agent primitives—skills, prompts, instructions, hooks, commands, and MCP server definitions—as versioned dependencies defined in an apm.yml file, resolved via 'apm install' and pinned with a lock file for reproducibility across tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot. The post frames this as solving supply-chain trust and governance gaps for shared AI agent context across teams, though it is vendor content promoting JFrog's registry integration and the article is truncated before detailing the trust/registry mechanics.

TL;DR JFrog introduces APM, an npm-like package manager for versioning and reproducing AI agent skills/prompts/MCP configs across a team.
