Agent Prime Directives (APD)
This feature is currently available to GovTech users only.
What is APD?
Agent Prime Directives (APD) is a GovTech-curated registry of versioned packages — containing skills, agents, plugins, and prompts — that equip AI coding assistants to follow proven, domain-specific practices. Packages are installed via the gt apd CLI, scoped to a project or user, and contributed by the GovTech engineering community. Supported assistants include Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and others, with each package installable in the appropriate format for your tool of choice.
Install APD packages and explore the full documentation in the Agent Prime Directives repository.
