Installs the `azk` CLI globally for the current user — a one-time, project-independent setup so any workspace can use `azk search/create/get/update/delete/link/reindex` as a bare command, backed by ambler-ts's Zettelkasten-RAG walk. Also installs the on-demand `azk-reference` skill (CRUD JSON shapes and gotchas) into the current agent's own global skills directory. Use this whenever a user wants to install azk (or "the zettel/zettelkasten command") globally, system-wide, or for every project, without vendoring the walk's code into any specific project. For vendoring the walk's code into one Ambler project instead (so it doesn't depend on this global install), use azk-init.

Azk Install

Installs the azk binary globally (via deno install --global), wires up the current agent's own global configuration, and installs the on-demand azk-reference skill globally, so the Zettelkasten-RAG methodology is available in every workspace without any per-project setup. This skill never touches project files — a project that relies on this global install just gets notes/ and .azk/ created lazily on first use, wherever azk happens to be invoked.

For a project that instead wants the walk's code vendored in locally (its own deno task azk, independent of this global install), use azk-init instead.

Step 1 — Locate the source repo

azk is built from the ambler-ts repo (the one containing deno.json and walks/azk.ts):

If this skill is being run from within an ambler-ts checkout, use the current directory.
Otherwise, ask the user for the path to their local ambler-ts clone.

All commands below use <repo> for this path.

Step 2 — Install the binary globally

deno install --global --force --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-env --env-file \
  --config "<repo>/deno.json" -n azk "<repo>/walks/azk.ts"

--force is required, not optional — this skill is meant to be re-run whenever ambler-ts changes, and deno install --global refuses to overwrite an existing azk install without it (it'll fail with "Existing installation found" otherwise).

Confirm the Deno installation bin directory (typically ~/.deno/bin on macOS/Linux) is on the shell's PATH. If azk isn't found after installing, that's almost always why — tell the user to add it to their shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.) and re-open their shell.

Step 3 — Merge the global Zettelkasten protocol

Read this skill's assets/AGENTS.md — the bare-azk-command variant of the "Zettelkasten RAG Protocol" (uses azk search/azk create/etc. directly, not deno task azk ...).

Merge it into your own global instructions file — whichever one you already know applies to every project you work in (e.g. ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, ~/.gemini/config/AGENTS.md for Gemini CLI). Don't guess a path for a different agent; use the one you actually read your own global instructions from.

If that file doesn't contain a "Zettelkasten RAG Protocol" section yet, append the asset's content to the end, separated by a blank line — never overwrite existing instructions.
If a "# Zettelkasten RAG Protocol" section is already present (e.g. from a previous install), replace just that section instead of duplicating it — match on the heading text, not the exact heading level, since some global instruction files may nest it under a parent section.

Step 4 — Install the azk-reference skill globally

Copy this skill's assets/azk-reference/ directory into your own global skills directory — whichever one you already know applies to every project you work in (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code). Don't guess a path for a different agent; use the one you actually load your own skills from.

cp -R "<repo>/.agents/skills/azk-install/assets/azk-reference" "<your global skills dir>/azk-reference"

If a stale zettel skill directory already exists in that same global skills directory (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/zettel/), delete it — it's a pre-rebrand leftover documenting a zettel command and .zettelkasten/zettel.db path that no longer exist (everything was renamed to azk/.azk/azk.db), and it's now fully superseded by azk-reference.

Step 5 — Verify

From a directory outside this repo, confirm the global install actually resolves and runs standalone. Use whatever scratch/temp directory is appropriate for the current agent's environment (e.g. a dedicated scratchpad directory if one applies) rather than defaulting to /tmp:

cd "<scratch-dir>" && azk reindex && azk search "test" && \
  echo '{"title":"smoke test","body":"verifying the global azk install"}' | azk create

reindex/search alone only create .azk/ — notes/ is created lazily by azk_fs.ts the first time a note is actually written, so the create call above is what proves "no per-project init needed" in practice. Confirm all three commands run without error and that both notes/ and .azk/ now exist in that directory with no pre-existing scaffolding.

Step 6 — Report success

Installed azk globally:
  binary          — `azk`, on PATH via deno install --global
  global config   — Zettelkasten RAG Protocol merged into <path to the agent's own global instructions file>
  global skill    — azk-reference installed into <your global skills dir>/azk-reference (CRUD JSON shapes, gotchas)

Any workspace can now use `azk search`/`azk create`/`azk get`/`azk update`/`azk delete`/`azk link`/`azk reindex` directly — `notes/` and `.azk/` are created lazily on first use.

Next step (optional): use /azk-init in an Ambler project that wants the walk's code vendored in locally instead of relying on this global install.

Checklist before finishing

azk resolves on PATH and runs from a directory outside <repo>.
The agent's own global instructions file contains exactly one "Zettelkasten RAG Protocol" section, using the bare azk <cmd> form (not deno task azk).
azk-reference exists in the agent's own global skills directory.
Any stale zettel skill directory in that same location has been removed.
No files were created or modified inside any project directory — this skill only touches the global binary install, the agent's global config, and the agent's global skills directory.

azk-reference

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

On-demand reference for the globally-installed `azk` CLI — exact JSON output shapes and non-obvious gotchas per subcommand (search, create, get, update, delete, link, reindex) that aren't covered by the binary's own usage/error output. Use this once `azk-install` has already installed `azk` globally, whenever you're about to run a CRUD operation and need to know the response shape or an edge case (e.g. what happens on empty stdin, what partial update returns, what delete cascades to). For installing `azk` globally in the first place, use azk-install instead.

azk-reference

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

On-demand reference for a project's already-installed vendored `azk` deno task — exact JSON output shapes and non-obvious gotchas per subcommand (search, create, get, update, delete, link, reindex) that aren't covered by the walk's own usage/error output. Use this once `azk-init` has already installed the walk, whenever you're about to run a CRUD operation and need to know the response shape or an edge case (e.g. what happens on empty stdin, what partial update returns, what delete cascades to). For installing the walk into a project in the first place, use azk-init instead.

azk-init

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

Installs a Zettelkasten-RAG knowledge store into an Ambler project by vendoring the `azk` walk's actual code into it — version-controlled Markdown notes in `notes/`, a derived SQLite search index, the unified `azk` walk/nodes/utils, a project `AGENTS.md` enforcing retrieve-before/store-after, and local copies of this skill and azk-reference. Use this whenever a user wants to add a knowledge base, notes, memory, or "second brain" to an Ambler project — even if they say "set up zettelkasten", "add RAG", "let the agent remember things", or "add AGENTS.md". For day-to-day search/create/get/update/delete/link/reindex once installed, use azk-reference instead. For a global, project-independent `azk` command instead of vendoring code into this one project, use azk-install.

ambler-walk

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

Creates a complete Ambler walk — the TypeScript wiring file (walks/<name>.ts) and the Markdown spec (specs/<name>.md) — and ensures all required nodes exist. Use this whenever a user wants to add a new program or flow to an Ambler project, even if they say "new walk", "add a program", "wire up these nodes", or just describe what they want the app to do.

2026-05-277

ambler-node

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

Creates a new Ambler node — with tests, using test-driven development. Use this whenever the user wants to add a node, step, or state to an Ambler project — even if they phrase it as "add a step", "create a handler", or describe the behavior without using the word "node". Also use when creating a node WITH tests or following TDD for a new node. For adding tests to an existing node that already has an implementation, use `/ambler-test` instead.

2026-05-227

ambler-test

argenkiwi/ambler-ts

Adds or updates tests for an existing Ambler node that already has an implementation. Use this when a node exists in nodes/<name>.ts but has no test file, when tests need extending after new branches were added, or when retrofitting TDD onto existing code. For creating a brand-new node with tests, use `/ambler-node` instead.
