Remove nix-ai-tools package support (Vibe Kanban) - #28
Conversation
## Proposal: remove-ai-tools-package **Created files:** - `openspec/changes/remove-ai-tools-package/proposal.md` - Describes why and what changes - `openspec/changes/remove-ai-tools-package/tasks.md` - Implementation checklist - `openspec/changes/remove-ai-tools-package/specs/nix-flake/spec.md` - Delta spec documenting the removal **Summary:** - Removes `nix-ai-tools` input from `flake.nix` - Simplifies `packages.nix` and `test/packages.nix` function signatures - Updates documentation in `openspec/project.md` - Migration path: Users should use mise or other tools for AI development tooling The proposal passes `openspec validate --strict`. Ready for your review and approval before implementation.
**Files modified:** 1. **`flake.nix`** - Removed `nix-ai-tools` input and simplified the `loadPackages` function to no longer pass the `nix-ai-tools` parameter 2. **`packages.nix`** - Changed from `pkgs: nix-ai-tools: with pkgs; [...]` to `pkgs: with pkgs; [...]` 3. **`test/packages.nix`** - Changed from `pkgs: nix-ai-tools: with pkgs; [...]` to `pkgs: with pkgs; [...]` 4. **`openspec/project.md`** - Removed references to nix-ai-tools from documentation 5. **`openspec/changes/remove-ai-tools-package/tasks.md`** - Marked implementation tasks as complete **Note:** Nix is not available in this environment, so `nix flake check` could not be run locally. The Docker-based test suite (task 2.2) will validate the changes when CI runs.

7-7: LGTM! Input parameter correctly removed.The
nix-ai-toolsinput has been successfully removed from the outputs parameter list, consistent with the removal of the corresponding flake input.
18-22: LGTM! Function signature and import correctly simplified.The
loadPackagesfunction signature has been successfully simplified to accept only two parameters (_: pkgs:), and the import call at line 22 correctly passes a single argument to match the updatedpackages.nixsignature.
28-28: LGTM! Function call correctly updated.The
loadPackagescall now correctly passes two arguments (systemandnixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}) matching the simplified function signature, removing the now-obsoletenix-ai-tools.packages.${system}parameter.
