nx-workspace

Explore and understand Nx workspaces. USE WHEN answering any questions about the nx workspace, the projects in it or tasks to run. EXAMPLES: 'What projects are in this workspace?', 'How is project X configured?', 'What targets can I run?', 'What's affected by my changes?', 'Which projects depend on library Y?', or any questions about Nx workspace structure, project configuration, or available tasks.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, command-dense exploration reference with clean section structure. The main weakness is redundancy — affected-project and pattern commands recur across sections — which slightly undercuts token efficiency.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the affected-project commands: keep them only in the 'Affected Projects' section and have 'Listing Projects' and 'Common Exploration Patterns' reference it rather than re-listing the same flags.

Consider moving the full command cheat-sheet into a references/ file and keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview that points to it, improving progressive disclosure for the ~180-line body.

Tighten filler lines like '...and much more, read the schema or nx.json for details' which add little actionable value.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly command-focused and efficient, but the 'Affected Projects' commands are repeated in both 'Listing Projects' and a dedicated section, and 'Common Exploration Patterns' re-lists commands already shown, so it could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready `nx show projects`/`nx show project` commands with jq extractions cover the common exploration cases fully and are directly executable.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Content is organized by question type with a couple of multi-step patterns (e.g. 'Why is project X affected?' pairs git diff with nx show project); read-only so no validation checkpoints are required, but no explicit sequencing guidance for combining filters.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear section headers organize a single-file command reference well, and references to external nx schema files are clearly signaled one level deep; no bundle files exist to split into, though the ~180-line inline reference could justify a separate cheat-sheet file.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: third-person voice, explicit 'USE WHEN' trigger, and verbatim example questions that mirror real user phrasing. Minor specificity softness from the generic 'explore/understand' lead verbs is offset by the concrete example list.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('Explore and understand Nx workspaces') and pairs it with several concrete example actions (listing projects, configuration, targets, affected projects, dependents), though the lead verbs 'explore/understand' are somewhat generic.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states what ('Explore and understand Nx workspaces') and when ('USE WHEN answering any questions about the nx workspace...') with concrete trigger phrases, satisfying both anchors fully.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The EXAMPLES list natural user phrasings verbatim ('What projects are in this workspace?', 'What's affected by my changes?', 'Which projects depend on library Y?') plus a trailing synonym list, giving comprehensive natural-term coverage.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped to a clear niche (Nx workspaces) with Nx-specific trigger terms, making overlap with unrelated skills minimal.
