ak activity tail

ak activity tail

Stream new local activity events

Synopsis

What it does: Follows the local activity log and prints events as they are appended. Use Ctrl-C or cancel the process to stop.

Who it's for: AI agents, CI monitors, and developers that need a live CLI equivalent of the desktop activity stream.

When to use it: Use while another process runs ak run or other activity-producing commands.

Examples: ak activity tail ak activity tail --json

What changes on disk: Read-only. Tails ~/.agentkit/activity/events.ndjson; AGENTKIT_HOME overrides the base dir.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel)
