Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Generate code using nx generators. INVOKE IMMEDIATELY when user mentions scaffolding, setup, structure, creating apps/libs, or setting up project structure. Trigger words - scaffold, setup, create a ... app, create a ... lib, project structure, generate, add a new project. ALWAYS use this BEFORE calling nx_docs or exploring - this skill handles discovery internally.Key capabilities
- →Discover available Nx generators
- →Match generators to user requests
- →Get generator options using `--help`
- →Read generator source code to understand behavior
- →Examine existing repository patterns
- →Run generators with `--dry-run` for verification
How it works
The skill identifies and executes Nx generators by discovering available options, matching them to user needs, reading source code for understanding, and performing dry runs before final execution.
Inputs & outputs
When to use nx-generate
- →Generating a new Nx library
- →Scaffolding a workspace application
- →Running workspace-specific code generators
About nx-generate
Automates the creation of new libraries, applications, and features. Ensures new project components align with existing monorepo conventions and passes lint/test gates.

When not to use it
- →When `--no-interactive` is not desired
- →When the user wants to use an external plugin generator over a local workspace generator for the same task
- →When the generated code does not need to pass verification
Limitations
- →Always uses `--no-interactive` flag
- →Prefers local workspace generators over external plugin generators
- →Requires manual modification of generated code for specific functionality
How it compares
This skill systematically uses Nx generators for code scaffolding and automation, ensuring consistency and adherence to monorepo conventions, which is more structured than manual file creation or generic code generation.
