ak agents

ak agents

Per-agent management commands

Synopsis

What it does: List, install, remove, show, and search individual agents from any kit. Agents are the per-role markdown personas users install into the underlying agent runtime.

Who it's for: Both: power devs scripting installs (--json) and users browsing what's available.

When to use it: Use as the entry point for any per-agent operation; subcommands handle the action.

Examples: ak agents list # show what's installed + available ak agents search code # find agents matching a keyword ak agents install engineer/researcher # install one agent ak agents show engineer/researcher # inspect metadata ak agents remove engineer/researcher # uninstall

What changes on disk: Read-only at this group level; subcommands document their own effects.

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)

Options

  -h, --help             help for agents
      --json             Emit machine-readable JSON (implies --no-interactive)
      --no-interactive   Disable interactive prompts (CI-safe)
  -q, --quiet            Suppress non-error output on stderr
  -V, --verbose          Extra diagnostic output on stderr (loses to --quiet)
  -y, --yes              Assume yes for all prompts
