script-gen
Generates npm package.json scripts from a short workflow description via the npx ai-script CLI. The skill requires the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable and therefore implies use of an external API and running the npx ai-script command.
Script Generator
Package.json scripts are powerful but writing them is tedious. Describe what you need and get proper npm scripts.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
Quick Start
npx ai-script "lint, test, build, deploy"
What It Does
- Generates npm scripts for your workflow
- Handles complex script chains
- Includes pre/post hooks
- Works with any tooling
Usage Examples
# Basic workflow
npx ai-script "lint, test, build, deploy"
# Docker workflow
npx ai-script "docker build, docker push, k8s deploy"
# Full CI
npx ai-script "typecheck, lint, test:unit, test:e2e, build, deploy:staging"
Best Practices
- Use pre/post hooks - run lint before test
- Keep them composable - small scripts that chain
- Document complex ones - add comments
- Test locally - before CI runs them
When to Use This
- Setting up new project scripts
- Adding CI/CD commands
- Standardizing workflow
- Learning npm script patterns
