ak agents model apply
Write the model config resolves to into pending installed Agent files, replacing runtime-side edits only with confirmation.
Use ak agents model apply to bring installed Agent files in line with config
without waiting for the next kit refresh.
Usage
ak agents model apply [agent] [--runtime <runtime>] [--project <dir>] [--yes]At most one Agent name is accepted; omit it to apply every Agent. The command
has no --scope, because it only reads config.
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--runtime <runtime> | all runtimes | Limit to one of claude-code, codex, cursor, omp, pi. |
--project <dir> | nearest project config, else the current directory | Project whose installs and config apply. |
--yes | off | Confirm replacing drifted files without asking. |
What it writes
The command rewrites the model fields of every pending file (config changed
since AgentKit wrote it). A drift file (edited in the runtime) is replaced
only with confirmation, and its previous content is backed up first under the
AgentKit agent-models backups. Files already in-sync are untouched.
Before writing, it proves AgentKit owns every target file. If any file fails
the proof, nothing is written and the command exits 1.
Confirmation
If drifted files are present and --yes is absent:
- On an interactive terminal, the command lists each file as
path: current -> desiredand asks[y/N].--no-interactivedisables the prompt. The lock is released while it waits, and the confirmed run applies only the files that were shown. If the drifted set changed meanwhile, nothing is written and the command exits3. - Otherwise nothing is written and the command exits
3. With--json, the result is printed on stdout underneed_confirmationbeside the error envelope.
Declining the prompt exits 3 with cancelled; nothing was written. To keep a
runtime edit instead of replacing it, run adopt.
Side effects
Takes the kit lifecycle lock. Claude Code plugin files take effect after
ak kit refresh re-activates the plugin; a warning says so. If a write fails
part way, the error names the files already updated and the backups taken.
Output
Human stdout prints updated <path> and backup <path> lines, or Every installed agent file already carries its configured model. when nothing
changed.
JSON success uses:

kind: agents.model.apply
data.applied[]
data.backup_paths?
data.need_confirmation? (drifted files awaiting confirmation)
data.agents[], data.warnings?Exit behavior
| Exit | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 | Files were updated or none needed changes. |
1 | Command failure, including an installed file AgentKit cannot prove it still owns. |
2 | Invalid Agent name or flags, an unsupported runtime, or a missing --project directory. |
3 | Drifted files need confirmation and none was given, or the answer was no. |
4 | Another AgentKit operation holds the kit lifecycle lock. |
