axx pack

View .mdOpen in Claude

Packs are sets of steps. A project lists the packs it uses in axx-packs.yaml: Axx’s packs by name (rest, sql, kafka, logs, aws-s3, gcp-pubsub, …; see axx pack list), and packs of its own, Go packages that build on the public core and the packs’ contexts, by path (./steps) or Go module path (github.com/team/axx-grpc@v1.2.0). Axx prepares itself with the listed packs on first use and caches the result.

Usage:
axx pack [command]
Available Commands:
add Add packs: axx's by name, others by path or Go module
list List the project's packs and axx's packs it does not use
new Create a pack in <dir> and add it to the project
remove Remove packs from this project
update Move module packs to their newest (or requested) versions and rebuild
Flags:
-h, --help help for pack
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)
Use "axx pack [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Add packs: Axx’s by name, others by path or Go module

Usage:
axx pack add <pack>... [flags]
Examples:
axx pack add rest sql
axx pack add ./steps
axx pack add github.com/team/axx-grpc@v1.2.0
Flags:
-h, --help help for add
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)

List the project’s packs and Axx’s packs it does not use

Usage:
axx pack list [flags]
Aliases:
list, ls
Flags:
-D, --define stringArray set a property for ${sys:name}, e.g. -D local.host=docker
-h, --help help for list
--profile string apply profiles.<name> / axx.<name>.yaml (env: AXX_PROFILE)
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)

Create a pack of your own: a Go package that builds on the public core (github.com/nimbusxr/axx/core) and can use the contexts of Axx’s packs (github.com/nimbusxr/axx/packs/rest, …/sql, …). It is added to axx-packs.yaml; the next command that needs the project’s steps prepares Axx with it.

Usage:
axx pack new <dir> [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for new
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)

Remove packs from this project

Usage:
axx pack remove <pack>... [flags]
Aliases:
remove, rm
Flags:
-h, --help help for remove
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)

Clear the pinned versions of module packs (all of them, or the ones named) in axx-packs.lock and rebuild, so each resolves to the version in axx-packs.yaml or, without one, the latest.

Usage:
axx pack update [module]... [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for update
Global Flags:
--compact print only what matters (auto-enabled for coding agents)
-c, --config string path to axx.yaml (default: search upward from the working directory)
--json emit machine-readable JSON (stable envelope)
--no-color disable colored output
-v, --verbose count increase log verbosity (-v, -vv)
