Nx 22 generators inject AI agent tooling into the repo via marked sections and side files. Rather than re-deleting them after every generator run, track the workspace-level ones and document why. - CLAUDE.md gains a 'General Guidelines for working with Nx' section between Nx-managed markers; future Nx versions will update this section automatically without touching our project rules above. Pre-existing prettier-formatted blank lines added before code blocks are kept. - .claude/settings.json (228 bytes) enables the nx-claude-plugins marketplace from nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config; tracked for contributor consistency. The personal .claude/settings.local.json stays gitignored. - .github/ is the Nx AI skills/prompts/agents catalog. Kept despite being GitHub-named; it does not conflict with our Gitea workflows which will live under .gitea/workflows/ (per ADR-0015). - .gitignore picks up Nx-managed transient dirs (.nx/polygraph, .claude/worktrees) and a trailing newline fix. AGENTS.md is removed: it duplicated only the Nx auto-injected guidance that CLAUDE.md already carries (CLAUDE.md is the strictly broader file - project rules + Nx section). One source of truth for AI-agent guidance.

| nx-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. |
You can run tasks with Nx in the following way.
Keep in mind that you might have to prefix things with npx/pnpx/yarn if the user doesn't have nx installed globally. Look at the package.json or lockfile to determine which package manager is in use.
For more details on any command, run it with --help (e.g. nx run-many --help, nx affected --help).
Understand which tasks can be run
You can check those via nx show project <projectname> --json, for example nx show project myapp --json. It contains a targets section which has information about targets that can be run. You can also just look at the package.json scripts or project.json targets, but you might miss out on inferred tasks by Nx plugins.
Run a single task
nx run <project>:<task>
where project is the project name defined in package.json or project.json (if present).
Run multiple tasks
nx run-many -t build test lint typecheck
You can pass a -p flag to filter to specific projects, otherwise it runs on all projects. You can also use --exclude to exclude projects, and --parallel to control the number of parallel processes (default is 3).
Examples:
nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2— test specific projectsnx run-many -t test --projects=*-app --exclude=excluded-app— test projects matching a patternnx run-many -t test --projects=tag:api-*— test projects by tag
Run tasks for affected projects
Use nx affected to only run tasks on projects that have been changed and projects that depend on changed projects. This is especially useful in CI and for large workspaces.
nx affected -t build test lint
By default it compares against the base branch. You can customize this:
nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD— compare against a specific base and headnx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts— specify changed files directly
Useful flags
These flags work with run, run-many, and affected:
--skipNxCache— rerun tasks even when results are cached--verbose— print additional information such as stack traces--nxBail— stop execution after the first failed task--configuration=<name>— use a specific configuration (e.g.production)
