agent-install

A guide for installing and configuring akm, a portable library of capabilities that agents can search and load. It describes non-interactive setup, adding sources, indexing content, and exposing help to the agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install akm, configure semantic search, add and index capability sources, verify the setup, and add agent guidance to AGENTS.md.
Why use it?
It makes capability installation repeatable for automated environments where interactive prompts are not practical. It also explains how the agent can discover the installed content.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-install scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Agent Install Guide

akm is a portable capability library agents install and configure without interactive prompts: install the binary, run akm setup --yes, add a source, build the index, then expose akm help agents output to the agent so it knows how to search and load bundle content. Configuration lives in top-level keys validated against the config schema, and semantic search can run on local embeddings or a remote endpoint depending on what the host supports.

For the exact command sequence — install, setup, semantic-search configuration, adding sources, indexing, verification, and installing agent guidance into AGENTS.md — see the headless install recipe.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agent-install is an agent published in the GitHub repository itlackey/akm (55 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 156 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
