nx-workspace

Explore and understand Nx workspaces. USE WHEN answering questions about the workspace, projects, or tasks. ALSO USE WHEN an nx command fails or you need to check available targets/configuration before running a task. EXAMPLES: 'What projects are in this workspace?', 'How is project X configured?', 'What depends on library Y?', 'What targets can I run?', 'Cannot find configuration for task', 'debug nx task failure'.

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 well-structured, highly actionable reference for Nx workspace exploration with executable commands throughout. The main weakness is redundancy between the early pattern sections and the later 'Programmatic Answers' section that re-treads listing projects and project details.

Suggestions

Consolidate the 'Programmatic Answers' subsections with their earlier counterparts (Listing Projects, Project Details) so each command appears once alongside its JSON output and jq examples.

Move the longer JSON example outputs (project config, project graph) into a reference file to keep SKILL.md a leaner overview, since they primarily serve as jq-processing illustrations.

Add a brief 'What depends on library Y' validation note in the project-graph section reminding the reader that `nx graph --print` may be large and to filter with jq before inspecting.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body assumes Claude's intelligence (no padding about what Nx or a monorepo is), but the 'Programmatic Answers' section largely re-covers 'Listing Projects' and 'Project Details' already shown above, which could be consolidated.

3 / 5

Actionability

It provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready `nx` commands paired with `jq` filters and realistic JSON outputs covering the common exploration cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

As a read-only reference skill with no destructive or batch operations, the question-to-command mapping in 'Common Exploration Patterns' and 'Troubleshooting' is clear and well sequenced, with only minor checkpoint gaps.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear section headers organize the overview and the one external reference (references/AFFECTED.md) is real, well-signaled, and one level deep, though the inline body is fairly dense for an overview.

Description

82%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 with explicit trigger guidance and natural example phrases that make it highly discoverable. The only weakness is that the stated capabilities ('explore and understand') are generic verbs rather than concrete enumerated actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain ('Explore and understand Nx workspaces') with two generic verbs; the EXAMPLES are trigger phrases rather than stated capabilities, so coverage of concrete actions is limited.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers what ('Explore and understand Nx workspaces') and when with a clear 'USE WHEN'/'ALSO USE WHEN' clause plus concrete trigger examples.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Six natural example phrases ('What projects are in this workspace?', 'debug nx task failure') plus 'an nx command fails' give strong keyword coverage, though terms like 'monorepo' or 'affected' are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Nx-specific niche with distinct triggers ('Cannot find configuration for task', 'debug nx task failure') yields minimal conflict risk with other skills.
