Long-running autonomous workflows and cross-session knowledge persistence.

niki goal

Runs autonomous, multi-step engineering goals. The Goal Runner breaks down an objective, executes tasks sequentially, checks criteria, and halts when its drift or budget guards trip.

# Start a new autonomous goal
niki goal new "Refactor authentication system to support Passkeys and WebAuthn"

# List active and paused goals
niki goal list

# Inspect execution status and step history
niki goal status <goal-id>

# Pause the active goal; resume requires its ID
niki goal pause
niki goal resume <goal-id>

niki memory

NIKI maintains a hierarchical project memory in .niki/memory/ across runs so agents remember project architecture, conventions, and previous bug fixes.

# Query entries by an exact memory tag
niki memory query database-conventions

# Store a persistent key/value fact
niki memory store database-timestamps "Always use UTC timestamps in database models"

# Natural-language recall across user and team memory
niki memory recall "database conventions"
