Nia Skill

Direct API access to [Nia](https://trynia.ai) for indexing and searching code repositories, documentation, research papers, and HuggingFace datasets.

Nia provides tools for indexing and searching external repositories, research papers, documentation, packages, and performing AI-powered research. Its primary goal is to reduce hallucinations in LLMs and provide up-to-date context for AI agents.

Setup

Get your API key

Either:

Store the key

```bash

mkdir -p ~/.config/nia

echo "your-api-key-here" > ~/.config/nia/api_key

```

Requirements

Nia-First Workflow

**BEFORE using web fetch or web search, you MUST:**

1. **Check indexed sources first**: `./scripts/sources-list.sh` or `./scripts/repos-list.sh` - Many sources may already be indexed

2. **If source exists**: Use `search-universal.sh`, `repos-grep.sh`, `sources-read.sh` for targeted queries

3. **If source doesn't exist but you know the URL**: Index it with `repos-index.sh` or `sources-index.sh`, then search

4. **Only if source unknown**: Use `search-web.sh` or `search-deep.sh` to discover URLs, then index

**Why this matters**: Indexed sources provide more accurate, complete context than web fetches. Web fetch returns truncated/summarized content while Nia provides full source code and documentation.

Deterministic Workflow

1. Check if the source is already indexed using `repos-list.sh` / `sources-list.sh`

2. If indexed, check the tree with `repos-tree.sh` / `sources-tree.sh`

3. After getting the structure, use `search-universal.sh`, `repos-grep.sh`, `repos-read.sh` for targeted searches

4. Save findings in an .md file to track indexed sources for future use

Notes

Scripts

All scripts are in `./scripts/`. Base URL: `https://apigcp.trynia.ai/v2`

Repositories

```bash

./scripts/repos-list.sh # List indexed repos

./scripts/repos-index.sh "owner/repo" [branch] # Index a repo

./scripts/repos-status.sh "owner/repo" # Get repo status

./scripts/repos-tree.sh "owner/repo" [branch] # Get repo tree

./scripts/repos-read.sh "owner/repo" "path/to/file" # Read file

./scripts/repos-grep.sh "owner/repo" "pattern" # Grep code

```

Data Sources (Docs, Papers, Datasets)

All data source types (documentation, research papers, HuggingFace datasets) share the same tree/ls/read/grep operations.

```bash

./scripts/sources-list.sh [type] # List sources (documentation|research_paper|huggingface_dataset)

./scripts/sources-index.sh "https://docs.example.com" # Index docs

./scripts/sources-tree.sh "source_id_or_name" # Get source tree

./scripts/sources-ls.sh "source_id" "/path" # List directory contents

./scripts/sources-read.sh "source_id" "/path" # Read from source

./scripts/sources-grep.sh "source_id" "pattern" # Grep content

```

**Flexible identifiers**: Most data source endpoints accept UUID, display name, or URL:

Research Papers (arXiv)

```bash

./scripts/papers-list.sh # List indexed papers

./scripts/papers-index.sh "2312.00752" # Index paper (ID, URL, or PDF URL)

```

Supports multiple formats:

HuggingFace Datasets

```bash

./scripts/datasets-list.sh # List indexed datasets

./scripts/datasets-index.sh "squad" # Index dataset (name, owner/dataset, or URL)

```

Supports: `squad`, `dair-ai/emotion`, `https://huggingface.co/datasets/squad`

Search

```bash

./scripts/search-query.sh "query" "repos" [docs] # Query specific repos/sources with chat context

./scripts/search-universal.sh "query" # Search ALL indexed sources (hybrid vector+BM25)

./scripts/search-web.sh "query" [num_results] # Web search

./scripts/search-deep.sh "query" # Deep research (Pro)

```

**search-query.sh** - Main query endpoint for targeted searches:

**search-universal.sh** - Searches all your indexed sources at once:

Package Search

Search source code of public packages across npm, PyPI, crates.io, and Go modules.

```bash

./scripts/package-grep.sh "npm" "react" "pattern" # Grep package (npm|py_pi|crates_io|golang_proxy)

./scripts/package-hybrid.sh "npm" "react" "query" # Semantic search in packages

./scripts/package-read.sh "npm" "react" "sha256" 1 100 # Read lines from package file

```

Global Sources

Subscribe to publicly indexed sources for instant access without re-indexing.

```bash

./scripts/global-subscribe.sh "https://github.com/vercel/ai-sdk" # Subscribe to public source

```

Oracle Research (Pro)

Autonomous AI research agent with extended thinking and tool use.

**Jobs API (recommended):**

```bash

./scripts/oracle-job.sh "research query" # Create research job

./scripts/oracle-job-status.sh "job_id" # Get job status/result

./scripts/oracle-jobs-list.sh [status] [limit] # List jobs

```

**Direct API:**

```bash

./scripts/oracle.sh "research query" # Run research (blocking)

./scripts/oracle-sessions.sh # List research sessions

```

Usage

```bash

./scripts/usage.sh # Get API usage summary

```
