  description: The Nx command-line interface — the primary surface for running, caching, and orchestrating tasks across a
    monorepo. Built in Rust for performance and extensible via TypeScript plugins. Supports `nx run`, `nx affected`, `nx graph`,
    `nx generate`, `nx migrate`, `nx release`, `nx sync`, and `nx init` to incrementally adopt Nx in existing npm, pnpm, or
    yarn workspaces. Auto-discovers tasks from `package.json` scripts and from Vite, Webpack, Jest, Vitest, ESLint, Gradle,
    Maven, .NET, and Go projects.

  description: 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.

    type: Documentation
  description: Nx caches task outputs locally based on a hash of inputs (source files, env vars, configuration, and dependencies).
    Cached tasks are replayed instantly without re-execution. Nx 22.7 introduces worktree-aware caching across git worktrees
    and faster cache replay (1110 tasks restored in ~1.16s). Cache can be shared with teammates and CI via Nx Cloud remote
    caching.

    AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf). Lets agents reason about workspace structure, run generators, dispatch
    tasks, and consult version-correct Nx docs without hallucinating. Ships inside the nx-console extension and as a standalone
    command.

description: Nx is a smart, fast, extensible monorepo build system and integrated CI platform created and maintained by Nrwl.
  The Nx CLI (Rust core, TypeScript plugins) provides task orchestration, dependency-graph analysis, affected-only execution,
  local caching, and code generation across Angular, React, Next.js, Node, Vue, Vite, Webpack, Jest, Cypress, Playwright,
  Storybook, Gradle, .NET, Go, and dozens of other ecosystems. Nx Cloud extends the CLI with remote caching, distributed task
  execution via Nx Agents, atomized E2E test splitting, and AI-powered Self-Healing CI that detects, fixes, and retries failing
  pipelines. The Nx Console IDE extension and Nx MCP server make the workspace graph and generators consumable by editors
  and AI agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot. MIT licensed, with 28k+ GitHub stars, millions of monthly npm
  downloads, and adoption by 30% of the Fortune 500.
