What problem does it solve?

Nix module option definitions can be verbose and error-prone; this Skill provides patterns and helpers to standardize options, across types and submodules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prefers helpers like mkEnableOption, mkPackageOption, and mkOption to simplify option declarations.
  • Demonstrates basic and collection types for options (strings, ints, ports, paths, and packages) and submodule patterns.
  • Serves as a scalable reference for building Nix modules with consistent interfaces across multiple files.

Quick Start

Use the patterns shown to define a Nix module by replacing placeholders with your project’s option names and types.
