Nx AI Agents Config — Setup Guide

Source: nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config GitHub: nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config Skills: 10 skills · 44.7K total installs Category: Monorepo Tooling First Seen: catalogued August 17, 2026 evening sweep (nx-workspace on skills.sh since January 27, 2026) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production — official Nx org; flagship nx-workspace passes all three security audits (3/3 Pass)

The official Nx (nrwl) agent configuration gives coding agents read-only exploration of Nx monorepos, task orchestration, code generation, and CI monitoring. nx-workspace is the largest monorepo-navigation skill on the platform at 31.4K installs, and the read-only-by-design posture makes it safe to load in production workspaces.

Installation

npx skills add nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config

Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:

npx skills add https://github.com/nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config --skill nx-workspace

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Node.js + npx For the skill installer
Nx workspace An existing monorepo managed by Nx
nx CLI Available globally or via npx/pnpx/yarn prefix

What It Provides

Skill Installs Purpose
nx-workspace 31.4K Read-only workspace exploration: nx show projects, project filtering, dependency structure
nx-run-tasks 2.6K Task execution guidance across targets and projects
nx-generate 2.5K Code generation with generators and plugins
nx-plugins 2.3K Plugin configuration and extension patterns
link-workspace-packages 2.2K Local package linking within the workspace
nx-import 2.0K Importing external code and libraries
monitor-ci 1.7K CI pipeline monitoring and interpretation
polygraph / get-latest-ci / await-polygraph-ci ≤3 Nx Cloud Polygraph CI helpers (early content)

The flagship skill's project-filtering syntax (explicit names, globs, tag: references, negation with !project-name) works across nx run-many, nx release, and nx show projects — one syntax for every workspace-scoped command.

Quick Start

  1. Install: npx skills add nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
  2. In the repo root, ask: "explore this Nx workspace and explain the project structure"
  3. The skill runs nx show projects and walks the dependency graph read-only

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Monorepo navigation Read-only workspace maps reduce agent mistakes in multi-app repos
CI diagnosis monitor-ci interprets Nx Cloud pipeline failures without manual log spelunking
Task orchestration Filtering syntax carries over to nx run-many for targeted rebuilds

Limitations / Verification

  • Security audits on nx-workspace: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Pass — all three clean
  • Publisher-page total verified (44.7K across 10 skills); repo is young (27 GitHub stars as of the sweep)
  • Read-only exploration only — the skill does not modify workspace configuration
  • polygraph, get-latest-ci, and await-polygraph-ci are sub-5 installs — early content
npx skills add nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config   # verify install works
