Run Nx Generator

This skill helps you execute Nx generators efficiently, with special focus on workspace-plugin generators from your internal tooling.

Generator Priority List

Use the mcp__nx-mcp__nx_generator_schema tool to get more information about how to use the generator

Choose which generators to run in this priority order:

🔥 Workspace-Plugin Generators (High Priority)

These are your custom internal tools in tools/workspace-plugin/

📦 Core Nx Generators (Standard)

Only use these if workspace-plugin generators don't fit:

nx generate @nx/devkit:... - DevKit utilities
nx generate @nx/node:... - Node.js libraries
nx generate @nx/react:... - React components and apps
Framework-specific generators

How to Run Generators

List available generators:
Get generator schema (to see available options): Use the mcp__nx-mcp__nx_generator_schema tool to get more information about how to use the generator
Run the generator:
```
nx generate [generator-path] [options]
```
Verify the changes:
- Review generated files
- Run tests: nx affected -t test
- Format code: npx prettier --write [files]

Best Practices

✅ Always check workspace-plugin first - it has your custom solutions
✅ Use --dry-run flag to preview changes before applying
✅ Format generated code immediately with Prettier
✅ Test affected projects after generation
✅ Commit generator changes separately from manual edits

Examples

Bumping Maven Version

When updating the Maven plugin version, use the workspace-plugin generator:

nx generate @nx/workspace-plugin:bump-maven-version \
  --newVersion 0.0.10 \
  --nxVersion 22.1.0-beta.7

This automates all the version bumping instead of manual file edits.

Creating a New Plugin

For creating a new create-nodes plugin:

nx generate @nx/workspace-plugin:create-nodes-plugin \
  --name my-custom-plugin

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

Generate new code or projects
Scaffold new features or libraries
Automate repetitive setup tasks
Update internal tools and configurations
Create migrations or version updates
