nx-console: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/nx-workspace/SKILL.md

nx-workspace is a skill for Cursor from nrwl/nx-console. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,885 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nx-workspace, MIT.

A read-only guide for exploring an Nx workspace. An Nx workspace is a repository managed by Nx that can contain multiple applications and libraries, along with shared build and test tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list projects, inspect a project's configuration, find projects with a particular task, understand dependencies, or investigate why an Nx command failed.
Why use it?
It shows how to discover projects, dependencies, configuration, and available tasks before making changes or running commands. This reduces errors caused by assuming the workspace layout or command names.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is nrwl/nx-console's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on nx-console itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything nx-console configures →

About the project

Nx Console is an editor interface for Nx and Lerna monorepos, which are code repositories containing multiple related projects managed together. It gives developers visual workflows for viewing workspace structure, running tasks, navigating task graphs, and supplying workspace context to AI tools. The catalogue entries extend its workflows through skills, agents, instructions, MCP integrations, settings, and commands.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

nx-workspace scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Nx Workspace Exploration

This skill provides read-only exploration of Nx workspaces. Use it to understand workspace structure, project configuration, available targets, and dependencies.

Keep in mind that you might have to prefix commands with npx/pnpx/yarn if nx isn't installed globally. Check the lockfile to determine the package manager in use.

Listing Projects

Use nx show projects to list projects in the workspace.

The project filtering syntax (-p/--projects) works across many Nx commands including nx run-many, nx release, nx show projects, and more. Filters support explicit names, glob patterns, tag references (e.g. tag:name), directories, and negation (e.g. !project-name).

# List all projects
nx show projects

# Filter by pattern (glob)
nx show projects --projects "apps/*"
nx show projects --projects "shared-*"

# Filter by tag
nx show projects --projects "tag:publishable"
nx show projects -p 'tag:publishable,!tag:internal'

# Filter by target (projects that have a specific target)
nx show projects --withTarget build

# Combine filters
nx show projects --type lib --withTarget test
nx show projects --affected --exclude="*-e2e"
nx show projects -p "tag:scope:client,packages/*"

# Negate patterns
nx show projects -p '!tag:private'
nx show projects -p '!*-e2e'

# Output as JSON
nx show projects --json

Project Configuration

Use nx show project <name> --json to get the full resolved configuration for a project.

Important: Do NOT read project.json directly - it only contains partial configuration. The nx show project --json command returns the full resolved config including inferred targets from plugins.

You can read the full project schema at node_modules/nx/schemas/project-schema.json to understand nx project configuration options.

# Get full project configuration
nx show project my-app --json

# Extract specific parts from the JSON
nx show project my-app --json | jq '.targets'
nx show project my-app --json | jq '.targets.build'
nx show project my-app --json | jq '.targets | keys'


# Check project metadata
nx show project my-app --json | jq '{name, root, sourceRoot, projectType, tags}'

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.
