OpenCLIs
A framework where AI enters the human’s world, and human understands
the AI’s work — through the same terminal, same tools, same memory.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ OpenCLIs FRAMEWORK │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ AI → Human's World │
│ ───────────────── │
│ AI uses terminal like a human does. │
│ Same shell, same PATH, same file system. │
│ AI calls other AI CLIs — just like a human would type them. │
│ Every model the human subscribes to, AI can use. │
│ No API keys. No wrappers. Official CLIs, official models. │
│ │
│ Human → AI's World │
│ ───────────────── │
│ Human understands what AI did, through shared tools: │
│ niia recall — what was AI working on? │
│ niia session search — what did AI discuss? │
│ monogram — what did AI change in code? │
│ terminal log — full terminal activity record │
│ AI's work is not a black box. Human reads it natively. │
│ │
│ Shared Foundation │
│ ───────────────── │
│ Monolex — runtime where both human and AI operate │
│ NIIA — memory that survives sessions and model changes │
│ monogram — code search for human and AI alike │
│ monomento — document search for human and AI alike │
│ monogit — git structure + symbol tracking for AI & human │
│ monogrid — visual alignment for human and AI alike │
│ monoterm — AI terminal in your terminal (sidebar, tabs, IME) │
│ Same tool, same result, regardless of who calls it. │

The Journey, Not Just the Result
Git sees the final commit. OpenCLIs sees how it was made.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ OBSERVATION LAYER │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ file watcher File change detected (real-time) │
│ ↓ │
│ save tracker Diff against HEAD, stored with timestamp │
│ + who did it (ai_session_id, agent_name) │
│ ↓ │
│ commit link When commit happens, all saves link to it │
│ │
│ Result: │
│ Git says: commit abc123, +200/-50, 3 files │
│ OpenCLIs: 12 saves led to this commit │
│ save 3 was a rollback │
│ saves 7-10 were from Claude │
│ save 12 was a human fix │
│ │
│ The commit carries its full journey. │

Both Sides Get Stronger
OpenCLIs is not an AI tool or a human tool. The same framework
strengthens both sides simultaneously.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ MUTUAL REINFORCEMENT │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ AI gets stronger │
│ ───────────────── │
│ Can call other models via shell │
│ Memory persists across sessions │
│ Uses the same tools as human │
│ → AI can do more │
│ │
│ Human gets stronger at using AI │
│ ───────────────── │
│ Sees what AI did (save history, terminal log) │
│ Sees why AI did it (save history per commit) │
│ Uses multiple models freely (PTY) │
│ Switches models without losing context (NIIA) │
│ → Human can delegate more, understand more │
│ │
│ The better AI works, the more human can delegate. │
│ The better human understands AI, the more precisely they ask. │
│ Same tools. Same environment. Both sides grow. │

NIIA — Consciousness + Orchestration
NIIA (Neural Intelligence Integration Architecture) sits at the top of the stack. It unifies all lower layers into a single CLI with consciousness, quality scoring, and cross-machine identity.
niia search "session" # 4-DB unified search with 0-10 scoring
niia insights # 21 insight categories + consciousness echo
niia resonate # Self-diagnosis: git + quality delta + consciousness
niia reindex # Full stack refresh (5 steps, top to bottom)
niia session read # Read AI conversations (Claude, Codex, etc.)
niia insights reads analysis tables from monogram.db, monogit.db, and monoflow.db. niia search queries all 4 databases with cross-convention matching.
| Layer | Tool | Purpose |
|---|
| Top | niia | Consciousness, orchestration, unified search |
| Knowledge | work-wiki | Sessions, convergence funnel, knowledge DB |
| Analysis | monoflow | Cross-DB analysis, quality delta, layer chaos |
| Code | monogram | Code search + call chain tracing |
| Git | monogit | Git structure + commit symbol tracking |
| Docs | monomento | Document search + reference graphs |
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
| monogrid | ASCII box alignment checker (Unicode width + 9 rules) |
| monoterm | AI terminal in your terminal (sidebar, tabs, IME) |
Philosophy
| Document | Purpose |
|---|
| Monokist | SMPC, OFAC, spec_chaos — the principles behind every tool |
- Rust native — single binary, no runtime dependencies
- SQLite backed — per-repo persistent indexes
- Self-documenting —
--help renders ASCII box art with full usage
- Reindex cascade — each layer refreshes everything below it
All tools are included with the Monolex app, or installed standalone:
curl -fsSL https://openclis.com/install.sh | sh
openclis install niia
