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

Python design patterns including KISS, Separation of Concerns, Single Responsibility, and composition over inheritance. Use this skill when designing a new service or component from scratch and choosing how to layer responsibilities, when refactoring a God class or monolithic function that has grown too large, when deciding whether to add a new abstraction or live with duplication, when evaluating a pull request for structural issues like tight coupling or leaking internal types, when choosing between inheritance and composition for a new class hierarchy, or when a codebase is becoming hard to test because of entangled I/O and business logic.
