What is it?

APM is a framework for running software projects with AI coding assistants. Long conversations with an LLM degrade as context fills up, so APM records the project's intent in planning documents and splits the work across agents that each run in their own conversation.

A session has two phases. In planning, a Planner agent explores the codebase, asks about purpose, requirements and constraints, then writes a Spec, a Plan and a set of Rules for the user to approve. In implementation, a Manager agent hands out self-contained assignments and reviews reports, while Worker agents complete and validate the tasks in their area. The user relays messages between agents and can review or intervene at each step. Session state lives in shared files, including a Tracker for progress and a Memory for work history, and a Handoff moves a role to a fresh conversation when its context fills.

The CLI, published on npm as agentic-pm, installs the commands and templates into a project for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity or OpenCode.

Key features

  • 01Planner, Manager and Worker roles that each run in a separate conversation
  • 02Planning documents covering the Spec, Plan and Rules, reviewed by the user before work starts
  • 03Shared Tracker and Memory files that keep session state outside any single conversation
  • 04Handoff mechanism that resumes a role in a fresh conversation when context fills
  • 05Installs into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity and OpenCode

Use cases

  • Driving a large feature or refactor through an AI coding assistant without losing track of earlier decisions
  • Keeping a multi-week AI-assisted project organised through archived sessions that later planners can build on
  • Adding structured planning and review checkpoints to work done in Claude Code or Cursor

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install the agentic-pm CLI from npm (Node.js 18 or later)

    npm install -g agentic-pm
  2. 2

    In your project directory, install APM commands, guides, skills and templates, selecting your assistant

    apm init
  3. 3

    Open your assistant in the project and start the Planner

    /apm-1-initiate-planner

Things to know

  • The README does not state a license of its own; the metadata shows NOASSERTION, so check the LICENSE file before commercial use.
  • Works only with the listed assistants (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, OpenCode).
  • Multi-agent workflow requires you to manually move between separate conversations and coordinate each exchange.
