Nika – Intent as Code for AI Workflows

SMRTR summary

Nika is an open-source workflow language for AI tasks — a single Rust binary that turns repeatable LLM work into versioned, auditable YAML files. It uses just four verbs (infer, exec, invoke, agent), runs locally with any LLM, enforces capability-based security, and audits cost and permissions before executing. Think Dockerfile for AI workflows.
