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

Always use --no-interactive - Prevents prompts that would hang execution

Read the generator source code - The schema alone is not enough; understand what the generator actually does

Match existing repo patterns - Study similar artifacts in the repo and follow their conventions

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.
