Configure, explore, and optimize Nx monorepo workspaces. Use when setting up Nx, exploring workspace structure, configuring project boundaries, analyzing affected projects, optimizing build caching, or implementing CI/CD with affected commands. Keywords — nx, monorepo, workspace, projects, targets, affected. Do NOT use for running tasks (use nx-run-tasks) or code generation with generators (use nx-generate).
Works with
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionnx-workspaceExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches nx-workspace 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-workspace. Access via /nx-workspace 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.

| description | Configure, explore, and optimize Nx monorepo workspaces. Use when setting up Nx, exploring workspace structure, configuring project boundaries, analyzing affected projects, optimizing build caching, or implementing CI/CD with affected commands. Keywords — nx, monorepo, workspace, projects, targets, affected. Do NOT use for running tasks (use nx-run-tasks) or code generation with generators (use nx-generate). |
Exploring workspace: nx show projects and nx show project <name> --json
Running tasks: nx <target> <project> (e.g., nx build my-app)
Affected analysis: nx show projects --affected or nx affected -t <target>
Note: Prefix commands with
npx/pnpx/yarnif nx isn't installed globally.
# List all projects
nx show projects
# Filter by type, pattern, or target
nx show projects --type app
nx show projects --projects "apps/*"
nx show projects --withTarget build
# Find affected projects
nx show projects --affected --base=main
Critical: Always use nx show project <name> --json for full resolved configuration. Do NOT read project.json directly - it contains only partial configuration.
# Get full configuration
nx show project my-app --json
# Extract targets
nx show project my-app --json | jq '.targets | keys'
Configuration schemas:
node_modules/nx/schemas/nx-schema.jsonnode_modules/nx/schemas/project-schema.json# Run specific project
nx build web --configuration=production
# Run affected
nx affected -t test --base=main

💡 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-workspace has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
Useful defaults in nx-workspace — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
We added nx-workspace from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.

I recommend nx-workspace for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: nx-workspace is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
