Runs repeatable AI work as checked, budgeted workflow files. The agent captures a repeated task as a .nika.yaml DAG, audits cost/permits/schema before a single token is spent, and runs it with tamper-evident traces.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Authoring Nika workflows Nika turns repeatable AI work into files: one `.nika.yaml`, four verbs, audited **before** it runs. You author the file; `nika check` is the oracle; the human runs it. ## The loop (always) 1. **Start from a template or example**, never from scratch: `nika examples list` · `nika examples show <slug>` · `nika new --from <template> <file>.nika.yaml` 2. **Write the file.** E
What does the nika skill do?
Runs repeatable AI work as checked, budgeted workflow files. The agent captures a repeated task as a .nika.yaml DAG, audits cost/permits/schema before a single token is spent, and runs it with tamper-evident traces.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill nika --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
