A pipeline you can verify.
Niki is an open-source project built around one idea: AI-generated code should arrive as evidence — a branch you can review, tests that ran, and a trail of what every agent decided.
the short version
Niki is the open-source multi-agent coding pipeline: describe a task, and four independent agents — Planner, Coder, Tester, Reviewer — plan, code, test and review it inside hermetic sandboxes. What comes back is a verified git branch with the entire decision trail.
It's written in Rust as a single binary, licensed Apache-2.0, and built for solo developers and small teams who want to delegate multi-file tasks and review a polished result — instead of steering an assistant through every edit.
The project holds itself to a simple bar: every public claim is reproducible from the repository. When reality and copy drift, copy loses.

the name
NIKI carries personal meaning to its founder. It's short, it types fast, and it doesn't pretend to be an acronym.
