ankra onboard

Get started with Ankra in one command. The installer runs it for you. onboard signs you in, or creates a free account, in your browser, and then does only what is still missing:
  1. picks the organisation to work in, asking when you belong to several
  2. offers a free playground when the organisation has no cluster yet: a real Kubernetes cluster on Ankra, ready in about 2 minutes, as a trial that expires
  3. offers to install the Ankra skills into the coding assistants on this machine, and to connect Claude Code to the Ankra MCP server
Every step checks first, so running it again is safe. Without a terminal (CI, a coding agent) it does not wait for you: it saves a pending sign-in, prints the link to open, and exits. ‘ankra onboard --wait’ then waits for that link to be approved and carries on. Running it again without --new shows the same link until it expires, after 10 minutes. --json prints one JSON object per line, one per step, for an AI coding agent to drive: “event” names the step, then its data, an “instruction” saying what to tell or ask the user, and a “next_command” when there is one to run.
