A pipeline you can inspect.
Niki is an open-source project built around one idea: AI-generated code should arrive as reviewable evidence: a local branch and changes.patch, plus artifacts and test results when a test command runs.
The short version
Niki is the open-source multi-agent coding pipeline: describe a task, and the full multiagent path can run Planner, Coder, Tester and Reviewer. In auto mode, a low-complexity task can collapse to Planner plus a solo Coder. Container backends use Podman or Docker; the worktree backend runs host-local processes.
It's written in Go as a single binary, licensed MIT, and designed for reviewing a local diff instead of steering an assistant through every edit.
The project's public documentation points back to the repository, where the implementation and run artifacts can be inspected.
