• Upstream Purity: Queries directly from official NixOS and Home Manager module lists, ensuring you get accurate, untainted information without including custom user modules.
• Performance & Offline Access: Leverages pre-evaluated flake-parts arguments for fast, offline queries, eliminating the need for web searches or external tools.
• Use Case: You're configuring a new service and need to know if services.nginx.enable exists and what its default value is. Or, you want to see all available programs.* options in Home Manager to discover new tools. This Skill provides answers instantly.
