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
