SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running tasks in an Nx workspace can be repetitive and error-prone when coordinating builds, tests, and lint across multiple projects. This Skill provides a quick, consistent way to execute Nx targets from a single point of control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Execute single-project or multi-project Nx targets (build, test, lint, serve) across the workspace.
  • Use run-many, affected, and parallel options to speed up CI and local development.
  • Apply to monorepos with many projects to ensure consistent task execution and reporting.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to run a specific Nx target, for example nx run myapp:build

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Nx tasks across multiple projects in a monorepo?

To run Nx tasks across multiple projects, you can execute targets like build, test, and lint using run-many or affected options. This streamlines task execution and optimizes both local development and CI pipelines.

What is the best way to execute affected Nx targets for CI optimization?

Executing affected Nx targets optimizes CI by running only build, test, and lint tasks for projects changed by a commit. This approach uses parallel execution to speed up pipelines and ensure reliable task reporting.

Can I use this to run package.json scripts and Nx targets defined in project.json?

Yes, you can run package.json scripts and targets defined in project.json. It supports common Nx CLI options to ensure safe execution and error reporting for both single-project and multi-project workspace commands.

How do I run build and test commands in parallel using the Nx CLI?

You can run build and test commands in parallel using the run-many Nx CLI option. This applies parallel task execution across workspace projects to speed up local development and CI workflows safely.

Does this approach support running a single project serve command in an Nx workspace?

Yes, running a single project serve command is fully supported in an Nx workspace. You can execute specific targets like nx run myapp:serve directly, streamlining local development and task execution.
