Does it work with nix-shell? I don't know how to use flakes yet.

Yes! The Action isn't directly aware of what Nix itself is doing or which commands are being run; it's only aware of the Nix store. So whether you're using flakes or channels it works the same.

Great question. Yes. Anything that Nix builds during your workflow will get cached. Give it a try and let me know how it goes?
