Skills & Logs

Creating and deleting skills, and the log sink clients write into.

Playground

Send these requests to your own running server. Values stay in this browser.

Not connected
How this works

Start a server with nikcli serve --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 4096. Requests go straight from this page to that address — the browser allows it because loopback counts as a secure origin, and the server allows it because nikcli-ai.dev is in its CORS allowlist.

To try things without touching your real sessions or config, start the server with NIKCLI_TEST_HOME pointed at a throwaway directory — see the guided tour.

Operations

3 endpoints, generated from the server's own OpenAPI document. Every path also accepts the directory and workspace query parameters that select which instance handles the request.

post /skill app.skill.create
post /log app.log
delete /skill/{name} app.skill.delete
post /skill # app.skill.create
Parameters
Name In Type Required
directory query string optional
workspace query string optional
Request body · required · application/json 
{
  // Skill name (kebab-case recommended)
  name: string
  // Short description of the skill
  description: string
  // Optional category
  category?: string | null
  // Optional tags
  tags?: string[] | null
  // Optional markdown content body
  content?: string | null
  // Where to create the skill (default workspace)
  scope?: "workspace" | "global" | null
}

Schemas

The 3 schemas reachable from these endpoints. Each is shown one level deep; nested types link to their own entry below. Names ending in _2, _3 and so on are the OpenAPI emitter disambiguating same-named schemas declared by different HttpApi groups — they are distinct shapes, not duplicates.

AppLogInput
{
  // Service name for the log entry
  service: string
  // Log level
  level: 
    | "debug"
    | "info"
    | "error"
    | "warn"
  // Log message
  message: string
  // Additional metadata for the log entry
  extra?: { [key: string]: unknown } | null
}
AppSkillCreateInput
