debugging-nix-failures

debugging-nix-failures is a Build, CI & test failure triage skill for AI agents, published by nicolkrit999 in the nix repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates debugging-nix-failures D (63/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use this skill when a nix build, flake check, nixos-rebuild, or darwin-rebuild is failing and needs to be diagnosed and fixed. Trigger phrases include 'the build failed', 'flake check fails', 'nixos-rebuild broke', 'why won't it evaluate', 'fix this nix error', 'option does not exist', 'darwin-rebuild is erroring', 'my rebuild is broken'. Drives the reproduce-diagnose-fix-reverify loop across nix-checker and nix-debugger. Does NOT cover authoring new functionality (use creating-nix-modules instead) or pure style/format sweeps with no build failure (dispatch nix-syntax-linter directly).
