Flake Structure

Standard flake.nix structure:

{
  description = "Project description";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

weaknesses

~incomplete: only covers inputs section, missing outputs/devShells/overlays/shell.nix guidance promised in description
~zero procedural depth: no step-by-step workflow, no decision trees for when to use overlays vs inputs vs pinning strategies
