nx-generate

Generate code using nx generators. INVOKE IMMEDIATELY when user mentions scaffolding, setup, structure, creating apps/libs, or setting up project structure. Trigger words - scaffold, setup, create a ... app, create a ... lib, project structure, generate, add a new project. ALWAYS use this BEFORE calling nx_docs or exploring - this skill handles discovery internally.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is a strong, actionable workflow: every step carries concrete commands, validation checkpoints and error-recovery loops are explicit, and the --directory warning is exemplary. Its only notable weakness is a conceptual opening paragraph that pads tokens without adding operational value.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is operational and lean, but the opening paragraph ("Nx generators are powerful tools that scaffold projects... They ensure consistency across the codebase and reduce boilerplate work") explains concepts Claude already knows, which is minor over-explanation that could be trimmed rather than pervasive padding.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands appear throughout ("npx nx g @nx/react:library --dry-run --no-interactive", "node -e \"console.log(require.resolve('@nx/<plugin>/generators.json'));\"", "nx run-many -t build,lint,test,typecheck") with concrete correct/incorrect examples for the --directory pitfall covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Nine clearly sequenced steps include explicit validation checkpoints (dry-run placement verification, format and verify) and genuine feedback loops ("If verification fails with manageable issues... fix them. If issues are extensive... escalate" and "reconsider: Is this the right generator? If not, go back to step 2"), matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, so all content is inline, but it is well organized into a principles section and nine titled steps with clear headers; at ~160 lines the body exceeds the simple-skill threshold, leaving only minor organization gaps (e.g., the buildability section could live in a reference file) rather than monolithic or buried structure.

Description

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description excels at completeness with an explicit what and when, and has strong natural trigger phrases, but its capability list is thin (one concrete action) and its generic trigger words create overlap risk with general scaffolding requests and companion Nx skills.

Suggestions

Expand the capability statement beyond "Generate code using nx generators" to list several concrete actions (e.g., scaffold new apps and libraries, run custom workspace generators, automate code migrations).

Scope the triggers to Nx/monorepo contexts (e.g., mention "Nx workspace" or "monorepo") so generic words like "setup" and "structure" don't fire in unrelated projects.

Add missing natural trigger variations such as "new library", "initialize a project", or "monorepo structure" to round out trigger coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain and one concrete action ("Generate code using nx generators"), with actions like creating apps/libs appearing only in the trigger clause, which matches the anchor for naming a domain with 1-2 concrete actions but not comprehensive coverage.

3 / 5

Completeness

It clearly answers both "what" ("Generate code using nx generators") and "when" with explicit trigger guidance ("INVOKE IMMEDIATELY when user mentions scaffolding, setup, structure, creating apps/libs... Trigger words - ..."), matching the anchor requiring both with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Trigger words are natural user phrases ("scaffold, setup, create a ... app, create a ... lib, project structure, generate, add a new project") with good coverage, but common variations like "new library", "monorepo", or "initialize" are missing, placing it between the good-coverage and comprehensive anchors.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The nx-generator niche is somewhat specific, but generic triggers like "setup", "structure", and "generate" could overlap with non-nx scaffolding contexts, and the explicit instruction to run before the companion nx_docs skill indicates overlap risk with a closely related skill.
