A guide for bringing code from another repository or folder into an Nx workspace, including its Git commit history.

Importing applications or libraries into an Nx workspace, choosing source directories, preserving history, and handling destination conflicts.

It explains how to combine codebases safely and avoid directory conflicts when moving projects into a monorepo, a repository containing multiple projects.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00045	$0.03482
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.01741
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00696

Security

Grade C, and why

nx-import scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

**Fix**: `rm -rf imported/node_modules imported/pnpm-lock.yaml imported/pnpm-workspace.yaml imported/.gitignore`, then `pnpm install`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Start

nx import brings code from a source repository or folder into the current workspace, preserving commit history.
After nx 22.6.0, nx import responds with .ndjson outputs and follow-up questions. For earlier versions, always run with --no-interactive and specify all flags directly.
Run nx import --help for available options.
Make sure the destination directory is empty before importing. EXAMPLE: target has libs/utils and libs/models; source has libs/ui and libs/data-access — you cannot import libs/ into libs/ directly. Import each source library individually.

Primary docs:

Read the nx docs if you have the tools for it.

Import Strategy

Subdirectory-at-a-time (nx import <source> apps --source=apps):

Recommended for monorepo sources — files land at top level, no redundant config
Caveats: multiple import commands (separate merge commits each); dest must not have conflicting directories; root configs (deps, plugins, targetDefaults) not imported
Directory conflicts: Import into alternate-named dir (e.g. imported-apps/), then rename

Whole repo (nx import <source> imported --source=.):

Only for non-monorepo sources (single-project repos)
For monorepos, creates messy nested config (imported/nx.json, imported/tsconfig.base.json, etc.)
If you must: keep imported tsconfig.base.json (projects extend it), prefix workspace globs and executor paths

Directory Conventions

Always prefer the destination's existing conventions. Source uses libs/but dest uses packages/? Import into packages/ (nx import <source> packages/foo --source=libs/foo).
If dest has no convention (empty workspace), ask the user.

Application vs Library Detection

Before importing, identify whether the source is an application or a library:

Applications: Deployable end products. Common indicators:
- Frontend: next.config.*, vite.config.* with a build entry point, framework-specific app scaffolding (CRA, Angular CLI app, etc.)
- Backend (Node.js): Express/Fastify/NestJS server entrypoint, no "exports" field in package.json
- JVM: Maven pom.xml with <packaging>jar</packaging> or <packaging>war</packaging> and a main class; Gradle application plugin or mainClass setting
- .NET: .csproj/.fsproj with <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> or <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
- General: Dockerfile, a runnable entrypoint, no public API surface intended for import by other projects
Libraries: Reusable packages consumed by other projects. Common indicators: "main"/"exports" in package.json, Maven/Gradle packaging as a library jar, .NET <OutputType>Library</OutputType>, named exports intended for import by other packages.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nx-import is a skill published in the GitHub repository jovandyaz/knowtis-app (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,482 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). It is 100% identical to nx-import, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
