nx-run-tasks

Execute build, test, lint, serve, and other tasks in an Nx workspace using single runs, run-many, and affected commands. Use when user says "run tests", "build my app", "lint affected", "serve the project", "run all tasks", or "nx affected". Do NOT use for code generation (use nx-generate) or workspace configuration (use nx-workspace).

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by tech-leads-club on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Nx Run Tasks AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills/tree/main/packages/skills-catalog/skills/(tooling)/nx-run-tasks
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Nx Run Tasks in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Nx Run Tasks on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Nx Run Tasks is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

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 projects
nx run-many -t test --projects=*-app --exclude=excluded-app — test projects matching a pattern
nx 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 head
nx 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)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Nx Run Tasks AI skill do?

Why use Nx Run Tasks on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Nx Run Tasks is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Nx Run Tasks in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills/tree/main/packages/skills-catalog/skills/(tooling)/nx-run-tasks. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Nx Run Tasks?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Nx Run Tasks?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Nx Run Tasks with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Nx Run Tasks AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by tech-leads-club. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
