axon watch

Register a directory as a source of agents. Every immediate subdirectory inside a watched path is treated as an agent project — both axon and the terminal UI scan it the same way they scan your profile's own agents/ folder.

axon watch .
axon watch ~/projects

Requires an active login — watched directories are stored on your profile, so the registry is the same wherever you sign in.

Watching a directory doesn't move or create anything. It just makes agents that already live there (or get created there later) discoverable. This is how a CLI-created agent — scaffolded with axon init in whatever directory you happened to be in — shows up in the terminal UI: watch the parent directory once, and everything under it is found from then on.

See axon unwatch to remove a directory, and axon init for scaffolding a new agent.
