ak commands search

Search commands

Synopsis

What it does: Search available commands by name, description, and tags. Results are ranked deterministically; ties broken by <kit>/<command> alphabetical order.

Who it's for: Power devs scripting (--json) and users discovering what's available.

When to use it: To find a command by keyword without knowing the exact name.

Examples: ak commands search browser ak commands search 'code review' --json

What changes on disk: Read-only.

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) 2 empty query
