niri-ipc

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.
