ak versions

ak versions

List local versions for ak, kits, and skills

Synopsis

What it does: Show the current ak binary version alongside every locally available kit and installed skill. Live latest-version comparison is disabled until the AgentKit versions registry endpoint is deployed; cached latest fields are best-effort and may be empty.

Who it's for: Both: power devs (--json for scripting) and non-technical users (default pretty output).

When to use it: Audit what is installed locally or diagnose version mismatches.

Examples: ak versions # local inventory ak versions --local-only # local inventory; no registry/cache lookup ak versions --json # machine-readable JSON ak versions --cache-ttl 30m # shorten TTL for registry cache reads

What changes on disk: Read-only unless a versions registry endpoint is configured and returns a fresh cacheable response.

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 local enumeration failed (e.g. unreadable install root) 2 invalid flags
