Does it support Nix Flakes?

Yes, the skill includes steps for integrating packages into current projects by adding them to overlays and exposing them via the packages output in flake.nix.

What programming languages are supported by this Nix skill?

The skill provides specialized guidance and implementation patterns for Python modules, Rust applications (using Cargo), and JavaScript/TypeScript npm applications.

Can I use this to update existing Nix expressions?

Yes, it specifically includes a workflow for updating the version and source fetching attributes of existing packages while ensuring hash integrity.

How does the skill handle Nix package hashes?

It provides two workflows: calculating hashes directly using nix-prefetch-url and nix hash convert, or using an iterative 'empty hash' method where Nix identifies the correct hash during a failed build.
