derivation-to-flake

derivation-to-flake is an Infrastructure as code skill for AI agents, published by kriswill in the dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates derivation-to-flake C (71/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Extract an in-tree Nix package/derivation into its own flake-parts sub-flake (under flakes/<name>/) that the root flake consumes via a relative-path input — the stepping stone to later splitting it into a separate repo with a one-line URL swap. Use this skill whenever the user wants to modularize or split a Nix flake or reorganize packages: "turn this derivation into its own flake", "extract <pkg> into a sub-flake", "make <pkg> a standalone / in-repo flake", "split pkgs/<x> out", "prep <pkg> to move to its own repo", "modularize the flake", or is moving things from pkgs/ into flakes/. Covers the whole procedure end to end — scaffold, wire the root (relative-path input + follows), test (standalone build + parity + flake check), adversarial quality review, and documentation. Bundled bun/TypeScript scripts (inventory.ts, scaffold.ts, verify.ts) do the rote steps.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.

Not launch-quality. It is graded C with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it looks written only for the repository it lives in. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
