It solves the problem of editing and validating niri Wayland compositor configuration safely and quickly without wrestling with complex KDL syntax and scattered settings.
~/.config/niri/config.kdl to change input devices, key bindings, touchpad behavior, outputs, window/layer rules, layout, animations, gestures, and more using familiar KDL structure.niri msg capabilities for querying state (outputs/windows/workspaces) and performing actions (focus, move, resize, fullscreen, screenshots, overview controls, and debug toggles).Use the niri skill to generate the exact KDL snippets needed to float only Telegram’s media viewer while keeping the rest of Telegram managed, and tell you where to place the window-rule blocks in your config.

Niri Wayland compositor configuration is edited by modifying the `~/.config/niri/config.kdl` file using KDL structure. This skill provides a KDL-aware workflow to safely adjust input devices, key bindings, outputs, and layout settings without syntax errors.
You control niri windows at runtime using the socket-based `niri msg` IPC interface. This allows you to query window and workspace state, and perform actions like focusing, moving, resizing, fullscreening, and taking screenshots dynamically.
Configuring window rules in niri to float specific applications involves authoring window-rule blocks in your `config.kdl` file. This skill generates exact KDL snippets and tells you where to place them to float specific windows like a media viewer while keeping others managed.
Niri KDL config sections have specific merge and repeat rules that determine how settings combine and validate. Understanding these rules prevents broken sessions by ensuring your configuration adheres to niri's validation guidance and structural semantics.
Your niri config breaks your Wayland session when key bindings contain invalid KDL syntax or violate section merge rules. This skill applies niri's validation guidance to ensure your configuration is structurally correct and safe to load.
