flake-parts is a Nix library that lets you write Nix Flakes using the NixOS module system, providing options that mirror the standard flake schema. It serves as the minimal core of a distributed ecosystem of flake modules for splitting flake.nix into reusable, focused units.

Use cases

• refactor a large flake.nix into separate module files
• handle per-system flake outputs without boilerplate
• share reusable flake logic as flake modules across projects
• let library users integrate my flake outputs into their flakes
• migrate an existing flake to the module system
• initialize a new project flake from a template

When to choose

• you write Nix Flakes and want modular, composable configuration
• you want to reduce custom Nix glue code like NixOS modules do
• you maintain a library flake whose outputs others should integrate easily
• you need clean handling of multiple systems in flake outputs

When to avoid

• you don't use Nix or Nix Flakes
• you prefer a minimal single-file flake.nix with no framework
• you need a monolithic batteries-included flake framework rather than a lightweight core
