SKILL: code-generation#

Purpose#

Generate production-ready code (TypeScript/JavaScript/Python) that matches the repo’s conventions, is testable, and is safe to run.

When to Use#

• You have an explicit spec and acceptance criteria.
• A new module/component/function is needed.
• Small-to-medium scoped implementation work is requested.

Inputs#

• spec (required, string|object): functional requirements + acceptance criteria.
• language (required, enum: ts|js|py).
• targets (optional, string[]): files/modules to create or modify.
• constraints (optional, string[]): security/perf/compat requirements.
• test_expectations (optional, string): tests to add/run.

Steps#

1. Validate the spec:
   • confirm inputs/outputs
   • confirm error handling
   • identify missing requirements (ask if material)
2. Inspect existing code style and patterns in the target area.
3. Generate minimal, modular code:
   • small functions
   • explicit types (TS) where useful
   • clear error paths
4. Add or update tests aligned to acceptance criteria.
5. Update docs/config only if required by the change.
6. Provide a deterministic validation command sequence (lint/test/build).

Validation#

• Code is syntactically valid and follows project conventions.
• Tests cover the critical behavior and fail before the fix (when applicable).
• No secrets or credentials are introduced.
• Any external API usage is explicit and configurable (env/config), with timeouts and retries.

Output#

• files_changed: list of paths
• summary: what changed
• validation_commands: ordered commands to run
• notes: any assumptions or follow-ups

Safety Rules#

• Never embed secrets, private keys, or tokens.
• Never introduce dynamic code execution ( eval, runtime compilation) unless explicitly required and sandboxed.
• Avoid network calls in tests unless explicitly controlled/mocked.
• Prefer additive changes over risky rewrites.

Example#

Input:

• language: ts
• spec: “Add parseUserId(input) that rejects non-UUID values.”

Output (excerpt):

• files_changed: ["src/utils/ids.ts", "src/utils/ids.test.ts"]
• validation_commands: ["pnpm test", "pnpm lint"]
