Nx Graph and Affected is one of 10 APIs that [Nx](https://apis.io/providers/nx-dev/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Dependency-Graph, AffectedCommands, and Monorepo. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Nx builds a project graph and a task graph from your workspace, then uses them to run only the tasks affected by a given change set. `nx graph` opens an interactive visualization; `nx affected -t build` or `nx affected -t test` runs only what is needed. The graph is also consumed by Nx Console, the AI agent tooling, and Nx Cloud distribution.
