What is NikCLI?

NikCLI is a next-generation AI-powered development assistant that combines the power of artificial intelligence with practical development tools. Unlike traditional CLI tools, NikCLI features cognitive orchestration - an advanced system that understands natural language tasks, breaks them down intelligently, and executes them using the most appropriate strategies.

​

🔄 Operating Modes

NikCLI supports different operating modes:
Interactive Conversation Mode
  • Manual confirmation for operations
  • Step-by-step guidance
  • Best for learning and experimentation
  • Full transparency in operations
# Example: Interactive file creation
/write src/components/Button.tsx
# → Shows preview and asks for confirmation
# → Explains what will be created
# → Waits for user approval
Strategic Planning Mode
  • Comprehensive execution plans
  • Todo.md file generation
  • Approval workflows
  • Best for complex projects
# Example: Project planning
/plan "Build authentication system"
# → Creates detailed execution plan
# → Generates todo.md with phases
# → Sets up approval workflow
Autonomous Execution Mode
  • Automatic task execution
  • Minimal user intervention
  • Streamlined workflows
  • Best for rapid development
# Example: Autonomous development
/auto "Create React component with tests"
# → Analyzes requirements
# → Creates component automatically
# → Adds tests and documentation
# → Reports completion
