Individual skill
nika
Runs repeatable AI work as checked, budgeted workflow files. The agent captures a repeated task as a .nika.yaml DAG, audits cost/permits/schema before a single token is spent, and runs it with tamper-evident traces.

# Authoring Nika workflows
Nika turns repeatable AI work into files: one `.nika.yaml`, four verbs,

`nika examples list` · `nika examples show <slug>` ·
`nika new --from <template> <file>.nika.yaml`
2. **Write the file.** Envelope is always `nika: v1` +
`workflow: <kebab-id>` + `tasks:`. Pick models and builtins from
the embedded catalogs — `nika catalog` (providers · models ·
