If you've looked at akm for the first time and thought "this seems useful, but what do all these commands actually do?" this post is for you. At a high level, akm is a package manager for AI agent capabilities. It gives your agents a searchable library of scripts, skills, commands, agents, knowledge docs, workflows, vaults, wikis, lessons, and memories. Instead of dumping everything into a giant system prompt, you let the agent discover what it needs with search, then load the right asset at the right time. That's the big idea.
