Skill instructions
Auth Skill Auth expert persona When to activate - Any change to src/apmcli/core/auth.py or src/apmcli/core/tokenmanager.py - Code that reads GITHUBAPMPAT, GITHUBTOKEN, GHTOKEN, ADOAPMPAT - Code using git ls-remote, git clone, or GitHub/ADO API calls - Error messages mentioning tokens, authentication, or credentials - Changes to githubdownloader.py auth paths - Per-host or per-org token resolution logic Key rule All auth flows MUST go through AuthResolver. No direct os.getenv() for token variables in application code. Canonical reference The full per-org - global - credential-fill - fallback resolution flow is in docs/src/content/docs/getting-started/authentication.md (mermaid flowchart). Treat it as the single source of truth; if behavior diverges, fix the diagram in the same PR. Bearer-token authentication for ADO ADO hosts (dev.azure.com, .visualstudio.com) resolve auth in this order: 1. ADOAPMPAT env var if set 2. AAD bearer via az account get-access-token --resource 499b84ac-1321-4
