Nx Workspace Patterns

This handles the tedious parts of Nx monorepo setup that trip up most teams. It generates proper nx.json configurations with optimized caching, sets up module boundary rules that actually enforce clean architecture, and includes working project.json templates for apps and libraries. The ESLint rules it creates prevent libraries from importing the wrong things, which saves you from circular dependencies and architectural drift. Most useful when you're moving beyond a single-app setup or inheriting an Nx workspace that's become a mess. The custom generator templates are solid starting points for your own library patterns.
