Nx is a tool for managing monorepos, which are repositories containing multiple related projects, across TypeScript and other languages. It helps development teams and AI agents run only affected tasks, cache build results, generate code, and coordinate continuous integration. The catalogue add-ons provide agent skills, commands, agents, instructions, and settings for working with Nx.

SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00080 | $0.01626 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00650 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00325 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00163 |
Grade A, and why
nx-generate 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 1mo 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.

Run Nx Generator
Nx generators are powerful tools that scaffold projects, make automated code migrations or automate repetitive tasks in a monorepo. They ensure consistency across the codebase and reduce boilerplate work.
This skill applies when the user wants to:
- Create new projects like libraries or applications
- Scaffold features or boilerplate code
- Run workspace-specific or custom generators
- Do anything else that an nx generator exists for
Key Principles
- Always use
--no-interactive- Prevents prompts that would hang execution - Read the generator source code - The schema alone is not enough; understand what the generator actually does
- Match existing repo patterns - Study similar artifacts in the repo and follow their conventions
- Verify with lint/test/build/typecheck etc. - Generated code must pass verification. The listed targets are just an example, use what's appropriate for this workspace.
Steps
1. Discover Available Generators
Use the Nx CLI to discover available generators:
- List all generators for a plugin:
npx nx list @nx/react - View available plugins:
npx nx list
This includes plugin generators (e.g., @nx/react:library) and local workspace generators.
2. Match Generator to User Request
Identify which generator(s) could fulfill the user's needs. Consider what artifact type they want, which framework is relevant, and any specific generator names mentioned.
IMPORTANT: When both a local workspace generator and an external plugin generator could satisfy the request, always prefer the local workspace generator. Local generators are customized for the specific repo's patterns.
If no suitable generator exists, you can stop using this skill. However, the burden of proof is high—carefully consider all available generators before deciding none apply.
3. Get Generator Options
Use the --help flag to understand available options:
npx nx g @nx/react:library --help
Pay attention to required options, defaults that might need overriding, and options relevant to the user's request.
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-generate is a skill published in the GitHub repository nrwl/nx (29,416 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,626 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
