Abstract
The KNIRV Network is a decentralized trusted execution network (D-TEN) composed of multiple, interconnected technological layers, each serving a distinct purpose. Managing and interacting with such a complex, distributed ecosystem requires a robust, unified, and intuitive interface. This whitepaper introduces the KNIRV-CLI, a comprehensive, command-line interface designed to provide a single, powerful point of control for the entire KNIRV Network.
The KNIRV-CLI abstracts the complexity of inter-service communication, acting as a sophisticated client for all core KNIRV services, including KNIRV-ORACLE, KNIRV-NEXUS, KNIRV-GRAPH, and KNIRV-GATEWAY. Its architecture, implemented in GoLang, is built on dynamic service discovery, real-time communication, and secure wallet integration. By providing a consistent, scriptable, and interactive interface, the KNIRV-CLI empowers developers and users to manage agents, execute network-level operations, and participate in the NRN token economy with unprecedented efficiency and ease.

1. Introduction
The proliferation of decentralized services often results in a fragmented and difficult-to-manage environment, requiring users to juggle multiple tools and API endpoints. The KNIRV-CLI is a direct response to this challenge, consolidating the functionality of the entire KNIRV D-TEN into a single, cohesive application. It serves as the official client for developers, system administrators, and network participants, enabling them to: * Discover and monitor all network services. * Perform blockchain operations on the KNIRV-ORACLE. * Interact with AI agents and DVEs on the KNIRV-NEXUS. * Contribute to and query the knowledge graph on the KNIRV-GRAPH. * Manage their wallets and NRN tokens.
2. Architectural Overview
The KNIRV-CLI is architected as a modular, GoLang application designed for reliability and performance. Its core components work in concert to provide a seamless user experience.
* Service Registry: A dynamic registry that automatically discovers, registers, and maintains a list of all active KNIRV Network services, including their endpoints and health status. * Health Monitor: A proactive system that continuously monitors the health of all registered services. It incorporates a Circuit Breaker Pattern for robust error handling and to prevent cascading failures. * KNIRV Service Clients: The heart of the CLI, these are dedicated clients for each major KNIRV Network layer. They handle the low-level communication and API calls, abstracting them into simple commands. * Real-time Communication Layer: The CLI integrates a WebSocket Manager and Server-Sent Events (SSE) client to enable real-time, bidirectional communication and event streaming, ensuring users receive live updates from the network. * Configuration Manager: A flexible system that supports environment-specific overrides and service-specific settings, allowing for a tailored user experience without the need for recompilation.
3. Full-Stack Network Integration
The KNIRV-CLI provides a high-fidelity interface to each layer of the KNIRV Network, bridging the gap between the user and the decentralized backend.
* KNIRV-ORACLE Client: Manages all blockchain operations, including agent registration, credentialing, and secure delegated execution. It facilitates the core operations of the KNIRV-CHAIN.
* KNIRV-NEXUS Client: Provides a direct interface to the Decentralized Validation Environment (DVE) and the KNIRV-ENGINE, enabling users to rent DVEs for computational tasks and interact with inference APIs.
* KNIRV-GRAPH Client: The primary tool for interacting with the KNIRV-GRAPH. It enables users to submit ErrorNodes and SkillNodes to the graph's NRV system, query the knowledge base, and participate in the "Proof-of-Solution" economy.
* KNIRV-GATEWAY Client: Integrates with the unified API gateway, providing a secure, authenticated entry point for all network interactions.
4. Wallet and Economics Integration
A core feature of the KNIRV-CLI is its built-in support for the network's economic layer. * XION Meta Account Support: The CLI leverages XION's meta account support to simplify blockchain interactions, enabling gasless transactions and streamlined account management. * NRN Token Manager: Provides a complete suite of commands for NRN token operations, including checking balances, transferring tokens, and interacting with a development faucet. * Economics Module Integration: Integrates with the network's economics module for complex tasks such as skill registration, automated fee calculations, and the management of economic incentives.
5. Advanced Features and User Experience
The KNIRV-CLI goes beyond basic command execution to provide a rich, interactive user experience. * Interactive Terminal UI (TUI): The CLI can be launched in a powerful interactive shell (REPL) mode, complete with command history, tab completion, and an ergonomic user interface. * AI-Powered Plugin Generation: By directly accessing KNIRV's inference capabilities, the CLI can automatically generate plugins and code snippets, accelerating development and reducing manual effort. * MCP Capability Management: The tool supports the management of AI integration with multiple providers and the registration of operational procedures, enabling complex, automated workflows.
6. Conclusion
The KNIRV-CLI is more than just a command-line tool; it is a strategic architectural layer that makes the entire KNIRV Network accessible and manageable. By abstracting the complexity of a decentralized, multi-layered system into a single, cohesive interface, it dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for developers and users. Its robust design, full-stack integration, and commitment to a seamless user experience position the KNIRV-CLI as an indispensable component for the growth and adoption of the KNIRV D-TEN.
