What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you write idiomatic, maintainable Nix code by avoiding anti-patterns and by applying a clean module system design.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard Module Pattern: Defines a reusable skeleton for Nix modules that exposes a clear configuration interface.
• Safe Design & Typing: Enforces proper option namespaces, strict types, and sane defaults to improve reliability.
• Performance-conscious: Encourages lazy evaluation, minimal imports, and clean separation of concerns to reduce build impact.
• Use Case: When building a NixOS module collection, apply the pattern to create new modules quickly with consistency and safety.

Quick Start

Create a new Nix module following the standard skeleton under modules/your-module and enable it in your configuration.
