akm -- Agent Knowledge Manager

Give every coding agent the capabilities your team has already built.

akm is a portable capability library for AI agents. Build your agent library once. Use it from any shell-capable coding agent. It indexes existing agent assets in place, loads only what a task needs, packages capabilities into shareable bundles, improves the library through reviewable proposals, and runs durable workflows -- locally and without tying the library to one assistant, including Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and more.

Install

Option 1 — npm package (recommended; requires Node.js >= 22):

Option 2 — Prebuilt binary (no runtime required):

Upgrade in place with akm upgrade.

The npm package always uses Node.js to bootstrap its cross-platform command. If a working Bun >= 1.0 is also on PATH, the launcher prefers Bun for execution; old, unusable, or absent Bun installations fall back to Node.js. Node.js remains required for the npm package. The standalone binaries are runtime-free.

Quick Start

Why akm?

• One library for every agent -- Use the same capability library from Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, or any assistant that can run shell commands. • Load only what the task needs -- Search or curate a shortlist, then load full content by ref. No giant startup prompt is required. • Package complete capabilities -- Install and share bundles containing skills, scripts, workflows, agents, instructions, memories, and knowledge -- not just prompt snippets. • Improve through evidence, with review -- Feedback re-ranks assets right away. A negative report can carry an exact text fix, and akm improve repairs metadata; every edit lands as a diffable proposal you accept, reject or revert, and only writable bundles are changed. • Turn knowledge into repeatable work -- Run persisted workflows with dispatch, gates, retries, budgets, and resume instead of reconstructing a process from prose every session.

akm retrieves every supported capability type. It directly orchestrates defined execution surfaces such as workflows, agent dispatch, tasks, and guarded subprocess injection -- it does not blindly execute arbitrary indexed content merely because that content appears in search results. It complements MCP and assistant-native skills rather than replacing them.

Agent Integration

Add this to your AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or system prompt:

Or generate it directly: akm help agents >> AGENTS.md
