System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Dendritic standardizes multi-host Nix configurations by applying a feature-centric pattern that structures config around reusable features across NixOS, Darwin, and Home Manager. It is designed for multi-host or cross-platform setups and is not intended for general Nix questions; see the nix skill for those.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature-centric modules using flake.modules.<class>.<aspect> to express capabilities
  • import-tree auto-loads all module files, enabling scalable feature sharing without manual imports
  • PerSystem outputs and inheritance patterns allow a layered system-default to system-desktop hierarchy across NixOS, Darwin, and Home Manager

Quick Start

Scaffold a new dendritic config using the scaffolding templates and start adding feature modules under modules/.
