Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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 ## Core Concepts ### 1.

What does the nx-workspace-patterns skill do?
Configure and optimize Nx monorepo workspaces. Use when setting up Nx, configuring project boundaries, optimizing build caching, or implementing affected commands.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill nx-workspace-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
