aix install

Reads ai.json (and ai.local.json), resolves all inheritance, and writes configuration files for supported editors.

Usage

aix install [source] [flags]

If source is provided (git URL, file path), it installs directly from that source without needing a local ai.json.

Flags

Flag	Description
--target <editor> / -t	Limit installation to specific editors. Repeatable.
--dry-run / -d	Preview changes without writing files.
--save	When installing a remote source, save it to local ai.json.
--overwrite	With --save, overwrite local config instead of merging.
--clean	Remove the .aix folder before install to ensure a fresh state.
--copy	With --save, copy remote files to .aix/imported/ instead of referencing git URLs.
--scope <field> / -s	Limit to specific fields: rules, prompts, mcp, skills.

Examples

Standard install:

aix install

Install only to VS Code:

aix install --target vscode

Install a remote config directly:

aix install github:company/ai-config

Install remote config and save it to your local ai.json:

aix install github:company/ai-config --save
