Nx Workspace Patterns

Production patterns for Nx monorepo management.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up new Nx workspaces
  • Configuring project boundaries
  • Optimizing CI with affected commands
  • Implementing remote caching
  • Managing dependencies between projects
  • Migrating to Nx

Best Practices

Do's

  • Use tags consistently - Enforce with module boundaries
  • Enable caching early - Significant CI savings
  • Keep libs focused - Single responsibility
  • Use generators - Ensure consistency
  • Document boundaries - Help new developers

Don'ts

  • Don't create circular deps - Graph should be acyclic
  • Don't skip affected - Test only what changed
  • Don't ignore boundaries - Tech debt accumulates
  • Don't over-granularize - Balance lib count

Use this skill when asked to remove AI-isms, clean up AI writing, edit a draft for AI tells, audit a README, changelog, release note, PR description, or blog post for machine-sounding prose, or make text sound less like AI. Supports a detect-only mode, a rewrite mode, and an edit-in-place mode, with optional voice and context profiles.
  • Abacktesting-frameworksBuild robust backtesting systems for trading strategies with proper handling of look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, and transaction costs. Use when developing trading algorithms, validating strategies, or building backtesting infrastructure.
