Nx Monorepo

The nx-monorepo skill enables AI agents to manage, build, and test applications within a monorepo structure using the Nx workspace. It streamlines development workflows by allowing automated dependency resolution, task orchestration, and code generation across multiple projects in a single repository.

When to use it

• Automating the setup of new libraries or applications within an existing Nx monorepo.
• Running specific tasks like linting, building, or testing for individual packages without affecting others.
• Managing complex dependency graphs and ensuring consistent versions across shared utilities.
• Generating boilerplate code for standard project structures to accelerate development velocity.

Key capabilities

• Workspace Management: Initializes and configures Nx workspaces with predefined presets.
• Task Execution: Runs build, test, lint, and e2e commands efficiently across the monorepo.
• Code Generation: Creates new projects, libraries, and applications using Nx generators.
• Dependency Handling: Resolves and manages dependencies specific to the monorepo architecture.

Example prompts

• "Initialize a new Angular application inside my existing React-based Nx monorepo."
• "Run unit tests for the 'auth-service' library and fix any failing assertions."
• "Generate a new shared utility library for handling API responses across all projects."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your local environment has nx installed globally or via npm before invoking this skill. Be mindful that monorepos can become large; specify target projects clearly to avoid unintended side effects during task execution.
