mise-codegen

name	mise-codegen
description	This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate a GitHub Action for mise", "create a devcontainer with mise", "generate a bootstrap script", "generate task documentation", "create task stubs", or mentions mise generate, CI/CD setup with mise, devcontainer configuration, or mise bootstrap scripts.

Mise Code Generation

Generate configuration files for CI/CD, devcontainers, bootstrapping, and documentation.

Available Generators

mise generate github-action     # GitHub Actions workflow
mise generate devcontainer      # VS Code devcontainer config
mise generate bootstrap         # Bootstrap script (curl | sh)
mise generate git-pre-commit    # Git pre-commit hook
mise generate task-docs         # Documentation for tasks
mise generate task-stubs        # Shims to run mise tasks
mise generate config            # Generate a mise.toml template
mise generate tool-stub         # HTTP-based tool stub

GitHub Actions

mise generate github-action > .github/workflows/mise.yml

Generates a workflow that:

• Installs mise via the official jdx/mise-action
• Runs mise install to set up tools
• Caches tool installations
• Supports matrix builds across versions

Devcontainer

mise generate devcontainer > .devcontainer/devcontainer.json

Creates a devcontainer that bootstraps mise and installs all tools from config.

Bootstrap Script

mise generate bootstrap > scripts/bootstrap.sh

Creates a portable script for new developers: curl -fsSL .../bootstrap.sh | sh

Task Documentation

mise generate task-docs > docs/tasks.md

Generates markdown documentation for all tasks in the project, including descriptions, dependencies, and arguments.

Task Stubs

mise generate task-stubs

Creates shell scripts in ./bin/ that wrap mise run <task> — useful for tools that expect executables in PATH.

Pre-Commit Hook

mise generate git-pre-commit > .git/hooks/pre-commit

Note: This project uses hk (jdx's hook manager) instead. Prefer hk install over raw pre-commit hooks. See the mise-jdx-ecosystem skill for hk integration.

Best Practices

• Commit generated CI/CD files — they're project infrastructure
• Re-generate after adding new tools to keep CI in sync
• Use mise generate task-docs to keep task documentation current
• Prefer hk over raw git-pre-commit for hook management
