What I do
When asked about a NixOS option (e.g., services, system settings, module options), consult MCP‑NixOS first.
- Validate that the option exists.
- Return its type, default value, and documentation summary.
- Provide a minimal example of how to define it in a NixOS configuration.
- Suggest close matches if the exact option isn’t found.
When to use this skill
Use this whenever the user wants to find, validate, or understand a NixOS option.
Ask clarifying questions if the channel, version, or target platform isn’t specified.
