By name: nix-evaluator description: This skill is used to evaluate the current state of this repository's flake, and any actionable errors contained within. This should be run until each step reports 0 errors before concluding any task to ensure the repository functions correctly and matches convention. It should always be used before reporting to the user that any nix code modification has been completed, as a "final checker" so to speak
Nix Evaluator
Overview
This skill guides the agent through final required modification or alteration checks, it's fundamental purpose is to maintain the actual functionality of the project at all times by providing an iterable action to diagnose the most pressing evaluation error at any given time.
Successful completion of this skill means the project is ready for commit & push to the git remote, any failure should be deemed catastrophic as it means a live system will ingest code that will possibly permanently break either the software or hardware configuration of said system.
Workflow
Step 1: Check for any changes in git
Check to ensure all modifications in the current worktree are staged as nix will refuse to evaluate any file git can't see
git status
- If there are unstaged changes: Stage them with step 2
- If all changes are staged: Proceed to step 3
Step 2: Stage all unstaged changes
If there are changes be sure to stage them to ensure proper flake evaluation
git add .
Step 3: Check the current state of the flake
This is the actual error checking command, be sure to run this in a loop until no errors are reported.
nix fmt && nix flake check --all-systems --show-trace --option max-jobs 1 --option cores 4
- Does this report any errors: Prompt the user if they would like this error fixed as a part of the loop or not if and only if the error is outside of the scope of the initial discussion. If the user declines, exit this skill loop, and return control to the user.
- Does this not report any errors at all: Exit this skill loop, and return control to the user.
