aldoborrero-nix-search is a Claude Code plugin that adds agent skills for searching Nix packages, flakes, and NixOS options.
About
aldoborrero-nix-search is a one-skill Claude Code plugin that teaches the agent how to work with Nix packages, flakes, and NixOS options through structured search behavior. developers and small teams who standardize on Nix for reproducible environments often lose time context-switching to search.nixos.org or manual nix-env queries; this plugin keeps discovery inside the coding session. Install it when you are adding dependencies to flake.nix, debugging why a package is missing, or comparing module options before committing to a NixOS layout. It is narrowly scoped—not a full Nix tutor or CI pipeline—and fits developers who already chose Nix and want faster, agent-guided lookups. The catalog lists it under Build → Integrations because that is where dependency and toolchain decisions usually land, even though the same lookups support infra tweaks later.
- Search Nix packages and flakes from the agent without leaving the editor
- Query NixOS module options when drafting system or dev environment configs
- Keyword-aligned workflow for nixsearch-style discovery in Claude Code
- Single-plugin bundle focused purely on Nix and NixOS literacy
- Pairs with declarative shell and infra repos that already use flakes

What it does
Let Claude search Nix packages, flakes, and NixOS options while you set up reproducible dev shells or infra configs.
Who is it for?
Best when you use flakes or NixOS and want Claude to verify package names and module options during config edits.
Skip if: Skip if you're not using Nix, or anyone and needs a full Nix onboarding course instead of search-oriented agent help.
What you get
Your agent can look up packages and options in context so Nix edits stay accurate and you ship reproducible shells faster.
- In-session Nix package and option discovery guidance
- More accurate flake and module edits with fewer wrong package names
- Less context switching to external Nix search sites
