Run Nx Generators Safely
Nx workspaces often have several generator choices, including internal workspace-plugin tools. This skill helps Claude, Codex, or Claude Code choose, run, and verify the right generator.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "run-nx-generator" from https://skillstore.io/skills/nrwl-run-nx-generator.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/nrwl-run-nx-generator/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "run-nx-generator". I need a new Node library in an Nx workspace.
Expected outcome:
The skill checks workspace-plugin options first, then recommends a Node generator only if no internal generator fits.
Using "run-nx-generator". I want to update a Maven plugin version.
Expected outcome:
The skill points to the workspace-plugin version bump workflow and asks for the target plugin and version values.
Using "run-nx-generator". I generated files and need confidence before committing.
Expected outcome:
The skill recommends reviewing generated files, running affected tests, formatting changes, and keeping the generator commit separate.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are Markdown backtick and code block detections around documented Nx commands, not Ruby shell execution. The skill does intentionally guide shell-based Nx workflows, so users should review generated commands and workspace changes before execution. No prompt injection, data exfiltration, or hidden malicious intent was found in SKILL.md.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Scaffold Workspace Features
Use the preferred workspace generator before falling back to standard Nx generators.
Create Nx Plugins
Generate create-nodes plugins with a repeatable schema-first workflow.
Automate Version Updates
Apply internal generators for Maven plugin version bumps and related workspace changes.
Try These Prompts
Use run-nx-generator to identify the best workspace-plugin generator for adding a new React library.
Use run-nx-generator to inspect the schema for a Node library generator and prepare a dry-run plan for a billing library.
Use run-nx-generator to create a create-nodes plugin named asset-indexer, then list the files to review and tests to run.
Use run-nx-generator to plan a Maven plugin version bump to 0.0.10 for Nx 22.1.0-beta.7. Prefer workspace-plugin generators.
Best Practices
- Start with workspace-plugin generators and inspect the schema before choosing options.
- Use dry-run previews and review generated files before applying changes.
- Run affected tests and format generated files after generation.
Avoid
- Running a generator before checking its schema or workspace-specific alternative.
- Mixing generator output with unrelated manual edits in one commit.
- Skipping review because a generator produced the files automatically.
