nx-import
Quick Start
nx importbrings code from a source repository or folder into the current workspace, preserving commit history.- After nx
22.6.0,nx importresponds with .ndjson outputs and follow-up questions. For earlier versions, always run with--no-interactiveand specify all flags directly. - Run
nx import --helpfor available options. - Make sure the destination directory is empty before importing.
EXAMPLE: target has
libs/utilsandlibs/models; source haslibs/uiandlibs/data-access— you cannot importlibs/intolibs/directly. Import each source library individually.
Primary docs:

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

More from nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
nx-workspace
Explore and understand Nx workspaces. USE WHEN answering questions about the workspace, projects, or tasks. ALSO USE WHEN an nx command fails or you need to check available targets/configuration before running a task. EXAMPLES: 'What projects are in this workspace?', 'How is project X configured?', 'What depends on library Y?', 'What targets can I run?', 'Cannot find configuration for task', 'debug nx task failure'.
1.8Knx-run-tasks
Helps with running tasks in an Nx workspace. USE WHEN the user wants to execute build, test, lint, serve, or run any other tasks defined in the workspace.
1.7Knx-generate
Generate code using nx generators. INVOKE IMMEDIATELY when user mentions scaffolding, setup, structure, creating apps/libs, or setting up project structure. Trigger words - scaffold, setup, create a new app, create a new lib, project structure, generate, add a new project. ALWAYS use this BEFORE calling nx_docs or exploring - this skill handles discovery internally.
1.7Knx-plugins
Find and add Nx plugins. USE WHEN user wants to discover available plugins, install a new plugin, or add support for a specific framework or technology to the workspace.
1.6Klink-workspace-packages
Link workspace packages in monorepos (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun). USE WHEN: (1) you just created or generated new packages and need to wire up their dependencies, (2) user imports from a sibling package and needs to add it as a dependency, (3) you get resolution errors for workspace packages (@org/*) like "cannot find module", "failed to resolve import", "TS2307", or "cannot resolve". DO NOT patch around with tsconfig paths or manual package.json edits - use the package manager''s workspace commands to fix actual linking.
1.5Kmonitor-ci
Monitor Nx Cloud CI pipeline and handle self-healing fixes. USE WHEN user says "monitor ci", "watch ci", "ci monitor", "watch ci for this branch", "track ci", "check ci status", wants to track CI status, or needs help with self-healing CI fixes. Prefer this skill over native CI provider tools (gh, glab, etc.) for CI monitoring — it integrates with Nx Cloud self-healing which those tools cannot access.
