SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides expert-level Nx monorepo management capabilities for teams building large-scale AI-native applications. It helps teams analyze dependencies, visualize project graphs, manage affected builds, and optimize caching and builds with Nx Cloud.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Graph Analysis: visualize and inspect dependencies across apps/libs.
  • Affected Detection: determine what to rebuild or retest when changes occur.
  • Code Generation: scaffold applications/libs and generate new generators.
  • Caching & Performance: configure and leverage Nx Cloud for faster builds.
  • MCP Documentation Access: query Nx docs and official tooling helpers.

Use Case: When evolving a multi-project workspace from a CLI tool to a full-stack monorepo, use this skill to map dependencies, plan affected tasks, and generate code with consistent conventions.

Quick Start

To begin, run an initial project graph and then experiment with affected commands, e.g., nx graph --focus=my-app and nx affected -t build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze dependencies across apps and libraries in an Nx monorepo?

To analyze dependencies in an Nx monorepo, you visualize and inspect the project graph using the nx graph command. This maps connections across your apps and libraries, allowing you to see how changes ripple through the workspace.

What is the best way to determine what to rebuild or retest when changes occur in a monorepo?

The best way to determine what to rebuild or retest is by using affected detection. Running nx affected -t build analyzes the project graph against your changes, ensuring only impacted apps and libraries are processed.

Can I use Nx code generation to scaffold new applications and libraries in a TypeScript workspace?

Yes, you can use Nx code generation to scaffold new applications and libraries within a TypeScript workspace. This feature helps generate consistent project structures and even allows you to build custom generators for repeated workflows.

Does this approach work for optimizing build performance and caching across large workspaces?

Yes, this approach works for optimizing build performance by configuring and leveraging Nx Cloud. It provides advanced caching mechanisms across large workspaces, significantly reducing build times for affected projects.

Do I need familiarity with MCP tooling and standard JS/TS workflows to manage an Nx workspace?

Yes, you need familiarity with MCP tooling and standard JS/TS workflows to manage an Nx workspace effectively. This skill requires understanding these technologies to execute dependency analysis and code generation tasks.

How do I map dependencies and plan affected tasks when evolving a multi-project workspace into a full-stack monorepo?

To map dependencies and plan affected tasks in a full-stack monorepo, you run an initial project graph visualization followed by affected commands. This establishes consistent conventions for evolving your multi-project workspace.
