nx-workspace

The nx-workspace skill is designed to provide comprehensive, read-only exploration of Nx workspaces. It allows users to inspect the structure of their workspace, including projects, configurations, available targets, and dependencies, without modifying any files. This skill addresses the common challenge of navigating complex monorepos managed by Nx, where understanding project relationships, target definitions, and workspace configuration is essential for effective development and task execution.

The skill offers several key capabilities. Users can list all projects within a workspace, apply filters based on project names, glob patterns, tags, or target availability, and output results in JSON for programmatic analysis. It also enables inspection of individual project configurations, including full resolved configurations, targets, executors, options, and inputs/outputs for caching purposes. Workspace-level configuration can be examined through the nx.json file, allowing insights into default target configurations, reusable inputs, plugins, and generators. Additionally, this skill provides guidance on using the appropriate command prefixes and package managers when Nx is not installed globally.

Target users include developers and DevOps engineers working with Nx monorepos who need to understand project structures, debug failing tasks, or verify configurations before running commands. It is particularly useful for teams maintaining large-scale applications or libraries, where knowing the dependencies, available targets, and project metadata is crucial for efficient workflow management and troubleshooting.
