nx-generate

nx-generate is a skill for Claude Code from nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,540 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nx-generate, MIT.

A procedure for using Nx generators, which create project files, scaffold common code, or apply automated changes in a monorepo—a repository containing multiple related projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating applications or libraries, scaffolding features, running workspace-specific generators, and applying supported code migrations.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive setup work and helps generated code match the existing workspace. It also requires checking the generator and verifying the result.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nx-generate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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

  1. Always use --no-interactive - Prevents prompts that would hang execution
  2. Read the generator source code - The schema alone is not enough; understand what the generator actually does
  3. Match existing repo patterns - Study similar artifacts in the repo and follow their conventions
  4. 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.

Steps

1. Discover Available Generators

Use the Nx CLI to discover available generators:

  • List all generators for a plugin: npx nx list @nx/react
  • View available plugins: npx nx list

This includes plugin generators (e.g., @nx/react:library) and local workspace generators.

2. Match Generator to User Request

Identify which generator(s) could fulfill the user's needs. Consider what artifact type they want, which framework is relevant, and any specific generator names mentioned.

IMPORTANT: When both a local workspace generator and an external plugin generator could satisfy the request, always prefer the local workspace generator. Local generators are customized for the specific repo's patterns.

If no suitable generator exists, you can stop using this skill. However, the burden of proof is high—carefully consider all available generators before deciding none apply.

3. Get Generator Options

Use the --help flag to understand available options:

npx nx g @nx/react:library --help

Pay attention to required options, defaults that might need overriding, and options relevant to the user's request.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
