axon clone

Download one published module version as an editable local project.

axon clone @axon/arxiv
axon clone @axon/arxiv@0.1.4
axon clone @axon/arxiv ./my-arxiv

axon clone retrieves the registry source artifact exactly as published. It does not create a Git repository, configure a remote, remember an upstream, or support pull and merge operations. Use Git for history and collaboration.

With no destination, Axon creates a directory using the module's package name:

axon clone @axon/arxiv
# → ./arxiv

The destination must be absent or empty. Axon runs axon prepare after extracting, so the cloned project is immediately type-ready. It is otherwise a normal module: edit it and publish it only if you own its package namespace.

To use a module in an agent without editing its source, use axon install instead.
