nx-workspace-patterns
Configure and optimize Nx monorepo workspaces. Use when setting up Nx, configuring project boundaries, optimizing build caching, or implementing affected commands.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific configurations and templates for optimizing Nx monorepo setups that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires nx installed locally. About 4k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Nx Workspace Patterns Production patterns for Nx monorepo management. Do not use this skill when The task is unrelated to nx workspace patterns You need a different domain or tool outside this scope Instructions Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. Provide actionable steps and verification. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Use this skill when Setting up new Nx workspaces Configuring project boundaries Optimizing CI with affected commands Implementing remote caching Managing dependencies between projects Migrating to Nx Core Concepts 1.

Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
