The CLI

ark-pm

v1.5.4

The command-line tool that powers the Ark marketplace.
Package, audit, seal, publish. Everything starts here.

What is ark-pm?

ark-pm is a CLI tool distributed via npm. It's how you interact with the Ark ecosystem from your terminal — search packages, install them into your .claude/ directory, audit your own work, and publish it to the registry.

Think of it as npm for AI systems. But instead of JavaScript libraries, you're managing skills, agents, bundles, and cognitive systems that run on platforms like Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf.

 $ npm install -g ark-pm $ ark --version
1.5.4

17 commands. One tool.

Where this is going.

ark-pm is layer 1. Here's the full stack.

NOW

ark-pm

Package manager. Install, audit, publish. The CLI you use today.

VISION

ArkOS

The operating system for AI-native workflows. Runtime, orchestration, inter-agent communication. Not just packages — a living ecosystem where cognitive systems talk to each other.

Today you type ark install to add a skill. Tomorrow, your agents will negotiate, compose, and self-configure entire workflows from the Ark registry. The package manager is the seed. ArkOS is the forest.

Start with the CLI.

Everything else grows from here.

 $ npm install -g ark-pm $ ark search
