Nx

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.

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Nx the way a machine reads it — 33 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Nx scores 21.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Nx

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Nx. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Nx CLI

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 ...

Nx Plugin System

The Nx plugin system lets you package generators, executors, and inferred-task plugins for any tech stack. Official plugins cover Angular, React, Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, Vue, Node...

Nx Graph and Affected

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 visualizatio...

Nx Cache

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 ...

Nx Release

`nx release` is Nx's first-class versioning, changelog generation, and publishing pipeline for monorepos. Supports independent and fixed versioning, conventional commits, semant...

Nx Console is the official IDE extension for Nx and Lerna, available for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and JetBrains IDEs (WebStorm, IntelliJ, RustRover). Provides project detail ...

Nx Cloud Remote Cache

Nx Cloud Remote Cache shares cached task outputs across machines and CI agents. Cache hits skip redundant builds and tests in CI and on teammates' machines. Authenticated via `N...

Nx Agents (Distributed Task Execution)

Nx Agents distribute task execution across managed CI machines with automatic load-balancing, flaky-task retries, and dynamic agent allocation sized to the affected task graph. ...

Nx Self-Healing CI

AI-powered CI agent that watches Nx Cloud pipelines, detects failing tasks, analyzes root causes, proposes fixes as PR suggestions, and re-runs flaky tests automatically. Now su...

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
