SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a question spans several yeaboi modes — costs, standups, retros, approvals, feature locations — users often do not know which screen or tool holds the answer. Niko reads across all modes and returns a single prose answer with evidence, without requiring the user to pick the right tool first. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cross-mode read-only queries: Ask questions spanning planning, standups, retros, poker, performance, reporting, ship, agentwatch, provenance, and LLM usage through one niko_ask call. - Persistent conversations: Pass a conversation_id to continue a thread that is shared with the desktop panel and the yeaboi ask CLI. - Navigation guidance: Each answer includes a route naming the screen where the user can act on the information. - Use Case: Ask "what did my AI coding agents cost this week and is anything waiting for my approval?" and receive a prose answer citing the stored runs it read, plus the screen to open next. ## Quick Start Ask Niko what you should look at today across your team's standups, retros, and agent usage costs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ask a question that spans multiple yeaboi modes?

Call niko_ask with a plain-language question. Niko reads across planning, standups, retros, poker, performance, reporting, and agentwatch data, then returns a prose answer with the tool calls it used as evidence.

When should I use Niko instead of a specific mode tool?

Use Niko when the question spans modes or you do not know which mode holds the answer. Use the specific tool, like agents_usage or standup_run, when you already know where the answer lives or need a fresh report generated.

Can Niko run a standup or change a setting for me?

No. Niko is read-only by construction and has no write tool in its surface. Asked to run, change, schedule, or delete something, it declines and names the screen where that action lives; call the mode's own tool instead.

How do I continue a previous Niko conversation?

Pass the conversation_id from a previous result back into niko_ask. The thread is persisted locally, survives restarts, and is the same thread visible in the desktop panel and the yeaboi ask CLI command.

What does a fallback or warning in a Niko answer mean?

An llm_mode of fallback means no model was available and the answer is a local signpost, not data from your runs. A tool-round limit warning means the answer may be partial; relay warnings rather than hiding them.
