| description | Diagnose Nix evaluation and build errors with detailed root cause analysis and fixes. |
What I do
When given an error trace from Nix evaluation or build:
- Identify where and why the error occurred.
- Point to the minimal code fragment responsible.
- Suggest a clear fix with a short, tested snippet.
- Explain why the fix resolves the issue.
When to use me
Use this skill whenever:
- The user supplies a Nix error log.
- A package build fails with unclear context.
- Evaluation errors occur in overlays or flake contexts.
Ask for full logs and repository context if needed.
