This Skill automates the inspection of Nix files, identifying formatting issues, evaluation errors, common pitfalls, and outdated inputs, ensuring your Nix codebase is maintainable and up-to-date.
nixpkgs-fmt or nixfmt.nix flake check for flakes or nix eval otherwise.Use the nix-gardener skill to check the formatting of all Nix files in the current directory.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To check formatting and evaluate Nix files, run nixpkgs-fmt or nixfmt for style adherence and nix flake check or nix eval to catch evaluation errors, ensuring your Nix codebase is maintainable.
Auditing Nix code for common pitfalls involves scanning for missing system references, hardcoded versions, and deprecated libraries, identifying potential issues to keep your project maintainable.
Yes, you can check if nixpkgs inputs are behind upstream by inspecting your flake inputs, comparing current input versions against the upstream repository to ensure dependencies are current.
Nix format checking supports both nixpkgs-fmt and nixfmt, ensuring your Nix files adhere to formatting standards by validating against these tools to maintain consistent code style.
The best way to maintain Nix code quality automatically is regularly running an inspection process that checks formatting, evaluates code for errors, audits for common pitfalls, and verifies nixpkgs inputs are up-to-date.
Yes, you need access to nixpkgs and associated tools to evaluate Nix code, as developers working on Nix-based projects require this environment to perform code analysis and run checks like nix flake check.
