Audit Artifacts

Understanding the generated artifacts, patches, and metrics in .niki/.

Every task creates a directory .niki/tasks/<task-id>/ containing all generated artifacts:

.niki/tasks/6d281d6d-3184-482a-89aa-403332152861/
├── task_spec.json        # Planner output
├── code_diff.json        # Coder hunks
├── test_report.json      # Tester output & test runner logs
├── review_verdict.json   # Reviewer scores & revision loops
├── safety_proof.json     # Post-run git invariants (branch added, history preserved, no force-push)
├── changes.patch         # Unified git patch
└── report.md             # Rendered human report

Inspecting Artifacts

You can inspect the generated files with any standard JSON tool, or use the built-in NIKI commands:

# Print formatted report
niki report <task-id>

# Open visual diff dashboard
niki dashboard <task-id>
