Use this skill when the user needs to configure disk partitioning in NixOS — declaratively define GPT, LUKS, LVM, Btrfs, and tmpfs layouts. Applies when setting up disks, formatting, or provisioning hosts with nixos-anywhere, even if the user doesn't say "disko".

description	Use this skill when the user needs to configure disk partitioning in NixOS — declaratively define GPT, LUKS, LVM, Btrfs, and tmpfs layouts. Applies when setting up disks, formatting, or provisioning hosts with nixos-anywhere, even if the user doesn't say "disko".

Pin check

grep -A4 '"disko"' flake.lock | grep narHash Expected: sha256-RxWs5ND31KzTG7wvMM+PMfUjyNpmIEr999lqNARaM5o= If different, update metadata.input_hash and metadata.input_rev.

Action

Find the host's disko-config.nix under modules/nixosModules/hosts/<host>/.
Declare the disk layout (GPT, LUKS, LVM, Btrfs subvolumes, tmpfs) in the config, exporting it as self.diskoConfigurations.host<Name>.
Import both inputs.disko.nixosModules.disko and self.diskoConfigurations.host<Name> in the host's configuration.nix.
For remote provisioning (eta), use nixos-anywhere — it reads the disko config directly.

Gotchas

Disko configs live in host directories (modules/nixosModules/hosts/<host>/disko-config.nix), referenced as self.diskoConfigurations.host<Name> — not self.diskoConfigurations.<name>.
The just install HOST command never runs disko. You must run just disko HOST first as a separate, destructive step.

Verification

nix eval .#diskoConfigurations.hostEpsilon.config.disko.devices.disk | jq 'keys'
