run-nx-generator
Run Nx generators with prioritization for workspace-plugin generators. Use this when generating code, scaffolding new features, or automating repetitive tasks in the monorepo.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for running Nx generators, particularly for custom workspace-plugin generators that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires nx installed locally. About 1k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
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 mcpnx-mcpnxgeneratorschema 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 1. List available generators: 2. Get generator schema (to see available options): Use the mcpnx-mcpnxgeneratorschema tool to get more information about how to use the generator 3. Run the generator: 4. 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: This automates all the version bumping instead of manual file edits. Creating a New Plugin For creating a new create-nodes 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
