Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config --skill nx-run-tasks- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads nx-run-tasks automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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)
FAQ
What does the nx-run-tasks skill do?
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.
How do I install nx-run-tasks?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config --skill nx-run-tasks in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/nx-run-tasks/ (personal) or .claude/skills/nx-run-tasks/ (project).
Which AI agents can use nx-run-tasks?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is nx-run-tasks safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains nx-run-tasks?

More from nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
nx-workspace
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
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'.
nx-generate
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
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 nxdocs or exploring - this skill handles discovery internally.
link-workspace-packages
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
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.
nx-plugins
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
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.
nx-import
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
Import, merge, or combine repositories into an Nx workspace using nx import. USE WHEN the user asks to adopt Nx across repos, move projects into a monorepo, or bring code/history from another repository.
monitor-ci
nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config
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.
Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
