ak kit validate

ak kit validate

Validate kit.yaml files in a kits directory

Synopsis

What it does: Walk kits-dir, load each kit.yaml via the kit loader, and report any schema or inheritance violations.

Who it's for: Power devs running CI; kit authors checking changes locally.

When to use it: Before opening a PR that touches kits/, and in CI.

Examples: ak kit validate # default: ./kits ak kit validate ./kits # explicit dir argument ak kit validate --json | jq .violations # scripted CI consumption

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) 1 one or more violations found, or internal validator panic
