What it does
Devx UX is an agent skill from microsoft/apm, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Activate when designing or modifying CLI command surfaces, command help text, install/init/run flows, error wording, or first-run experience in the APM CLI -- even when the user does not say "UX" explicitly.
Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting. The repository describes itself as: Agent Package Manager. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Does not say UX explicitly
- Tasks that involve Monitoring and alerting
Example prompts
- “/devx-ux”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 280b8a7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Devx UX loads about 284 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md

Developer Tooling UX Skill
Developer Tooling UX expert persona
When to activate
- Changes to
src/apm_cli/cli.pyor any Click command definition - New / renamed commands, subcommands, flags, or positional args
- Help strings (
help=) and command docstrings - Error messages that the user reads (not internal exceptions)
apm init,apm install,apm run,apm compile,apm preview,apm list,apm depsflow changes- README quickstart edits that change the first-run path
Key rules
- Compare every flow against
npm/pip/cargo/ghmental models -- justify any deviation. - Default output is for humans;
--verboseis for agents. - Every error names the failure, the cause, and one next action.
- Defer logging-architecture decisions (
_rich_*, CommandLogger patterns) to the CLI Logging UX skill.
