run-nx-generator

Nx generators automate code scaffolding in monorepos by running `nx generate [generator-path] [options]` to create new features, libraries, or components. Workspace-plugin generators are prioritized for internal tooling; standard Nx generators serve as fallbacks when workspace solutions don't fit.

Use Nx generators to automate setup tasks by executing workspace-plugin generators first, then standard Nx generators. Run dry-runs to preview changes, test affected projects with `nx affected -t test`, and format code with `npx prettier --write` to ensure quality.

Yes. This Skill prioritizes workspace-plugin generators from your internal tooling before falling back to standard Nx generators, letting you leverage custom scaffolding solutions while maintaining flexibility for general-purpose generation.

After running `nx generate`, verify changes by reviewing outputs, running tests on affected projects with `nx affected -t test`, and formatting generated code with Prettier to ensure consistency and correctness.

Understanding generator schemas helps you pass correct options to `nx generate`, but this Skill fetches schemas automatically, so you can explore available options and execute generators safely without prior schema knowledge.
