What problem does it solve?

Resolve Nix fundamentals: flake, derivation, substituter, and direnv. Trigger: 'Nix 빌드 느림', 'flake 인식 안 됨', 'substituter', 'direnv', 'pre-commit hook 실패'. NOT for NixOS MiniPC (use managing-minipc). NOT for nix-darwin (use managing-macos).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flake evaluation and management guidance, including tracking inputs via flake.lock and updating external inputs.
  • Troubleshooting Nix build failures, substituter configurations, derivation interpretation, and direnv integration across NixOS and nix-darwin workflows.
  • Performance optimizations and warnings for offline builds and experimental features.

Quick Start

Open a shell, enable direnv with use flake, and run a quick flake check to validate the Nix setup.
