Execute build, test, lint, serve, and other tasks in an Nx workspace using single runs, run-many, and affected commands. Use when user says "run tests", "build my app", "lint affected", "serve the project", "run all tasks", or "nx affected". Do NOT use for code generation (use nx-generate) or workspace configuration (use nx-workspace).

AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionnx-run-tasksExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches nx-run-tasks from tech-leads-club/agent-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate nx-run-tasks. Access via /nx-run-tasks in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

You can run tasks with Nx in the following way.
Keep in mind that you might have to prefix things with npx/pnpx/yarn if the user doesn't have nx installed globally. Look at the package.json or lockfile to determine which package manager is in use.
For more details on any command, run it with --help (e.g. nx run-many --help, nx affected --help).
You can check those via nx show project <projectname> --json, for example nx show project myapp --json. It contains a targets section which has information about targets that can be run. You can also just look at the package.json scripts or project.json targets, but you might miss out on inferred tasks by Nx plugins.
nx run <project>:<task>
where project is the project name defined in package.json or project.json (if present).
nx run-many -t build test lint typecheck
You can pass a -p flag to filter to specific projects, otherwise it runs on all projects. You can also use --exclude to exclude projects, and --parallel to control the number of parallel processes (default is 3).
Examples:
nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 — test specific projectsnx run-many -t test --projects=*-app --exclude=excluded-app — test projects matching a patternnx run-many -t test --projects=tag:api-* — test projects by tagUse nx affected to only run tasks on projects that have been changed and projects that depend on changed projects. This is especially useful in CI and for large workspaces.
nx affected -t build test lint
By default it compares against the base branch. You can customize this:
nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD — compare against a specific base and headnx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts — specify changed files directlyThese flags work with run, run-many, and affected:
--skipNxCache — rerun tasks even when results are cached--verbose — print additional information such as stack traces--nxBail — stop execution after the first failed task--configuration=<name> — use a specific configuration (e.g. production)Prerequisites

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

nx-run-tasks reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
We added nx-run-tasks from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
nx-run-tasks reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
nx-run-tasks is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Keeps context tight: nx-run-tasks is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
I recommend nx-run-tasks for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: nx-run-tasks is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.

Useful defaults in nx-run-tasks — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
