Run Nx Generator

Nx generators are powerful tools that scaffold projects, make automated code migrations or automate repetitive tasks in a monorepo. They ensure consistency across the codebase and reduce boilerplate work.

This skill applies when the user wants to:

  • Create new projects like libraries or applications
  • Scaffold features or boilerplate code
  • Run workspace-specific or custom generators
  • Do anything else that an nx generator exists for

Key Principles

  1. Always use --no-interactive - Prevents prompts that would hang execution
  2. Read the generator source code - The schema alone is not enough; understand what the generator actually does
  3. Match existing repo patterns - Study similar artifacts in the repo and follow their conventions
  4. Verify with lint/test/build/typecheck etc. - Generated code must pass verification. The listed targets are just an example, use what's appropriate for this workspace.
