ak activity
Inspect the local AgentKit activity feed
Reads the same local activity event log used by the dashboard and desktop app. Use list for a finite snapshot, tail for a live stream, and stats for local skill usage aggregates.
Who it's for: Power devs, AI agents, CI jobs, and reviewers who need the desktop activity feed from the CLI.
When to use it: Use when debugging recent ak run activity or when a headless workflow needs activity evidence.
What changes on disk: Read-only. Reads ~/.agentkit/activity/events.ndjson; AGENTKIT_HOME overrides the base dir.
