Use Case
Niri IPC isn't just for solo use β teams can share skills and build consistent AI workflows across the organization. Control the Niri Wayland compositor on Linux via its IPC (`niri msg --json` / $NIRI_SOCKET). Use when you need to query Niri state (outputs/workspaces/windows/focused window) or perform actions (focus/move/close windows, switch workspaces, spawn commands, reload config) from an OpenClaw agent running on a Niri session. This guide covers how to deploy Niri IPC for your team, standardize prompts, and create shared workflows that everyone can use.
Install Niri IPC in your project directory: .claude/skills/niri-ipc/
Commit the skill folder to your repository so the whole team has access
Document your team's standard prompts in a shared README
Use Niri IPC in code reviews, standups, and planning sessions
Iterate: collect feedback from the team and refine your prompts
Copy these prompts and use them with your AI agent after installing Niri IPC
How can my team use Niri IPC together?
Set up Niri IPC for our project so everyone can use it
