What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you locate Nix packages across channels, identify exact attribute paths, and fetch version details for reproducible configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initial search: Uses mcp__nixos__nixos_search to find candidates for a query.
  • Precise attributes: Verifies with mcp__nixos__nixos_info that you get pkgs.[path].
  • Version checks: Uses nixhub to pin versions when requested.

Quick Start

User: "find nix package for ripgrep" and the skill will return the attribute path (e.g., pkgs.ripgrep) and version, plus tips for enabling in home-manager if available.
