ak projects add

ak projects add

Register a project directory in the global registry

Synopsis

What it does: Add <path> to ~/.agentkit/projects.json. If the directory is already registered, its entry is refreshed (UpdatedAt). This command is called automatically by ak new and ak init.

Who it's for: Power devs who need to manually register an existing AK project.

When to use it: Onboarding a project that was cloned or moved from another machine.

Examples: ak projects add ./myproj # register relative path ak projects add $HOME/projects/myproj # register absolute path ak projects add . --json # register cwd, machine-readable output

What changes on disk: Writes ~/.agentkit/projects.json atomically.

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) 0 success (new or updated entry) 1 path does not exist or is not a directory 2 invalid arguments
