# Workspace Executors
In Nx 13.10+, local nx plugins can contain executors that are used in the workspace. When creating a custom executor for your workspace, look into the [local executor guide](/extending-nx/recipes/local-executors) to simplify the build process.
## Converting workspace executors to local executors
- If you don't already have a local plugin, use Nx to generate one:
```shell
npm add -D @nx/plugin
nx g @nx/plugin:plugin my-plugin --directory=tools/my-plugin
```
- Use the Nx CLI to generate the initial files needed for your executor. Replace `my-executor` with the name of your workspace executor.
```shell
nx generate @nx/plugin:executor my-executor --directory=tools/my-plugin/src/executors/my-executor
```
- Copy the code for your workspace executor into the newly created executor's folder. e.g. `libs/my-plugin/src/executors/my-executor/`
- Now you can reference the executor like this:
```jsonc
{
"executor": "@my-org/my-plugin:my-executor"
}
```
