@samuelho-dev/monorepo-library-generator

Standardizes Effect libraries from one versioned blueprint. CLI, Nx, and MCP all call the same policy, planner, ts-morph renderer, and executor.

What It Generates

• contract: schemas, errors, events, ports, consolidated Effect RPC contracts, and shared types
• data-access: contract-backed services with Live, Test, Auto, and a colocated test harness
• feature: server feature services plus optional contract-derived RPC clients and React query hooks
• provider: external integration services with Live, Test, and Auto
• infra: infrastructure services with Live, Test, and Auto

Generated libraries use exact package exports, TypeScript project references, import-derived dependency sections, colocated specs, and Vitest's forks pool. Feature libraries default to root and server. Declaring client requires a contract and generates a domain-scoped AtomRpc client plus typed query hooks without re-exporting server implementations. The generator does not emit Context.Tag, Effect.Service, Dev layers, public layers.ts composition, data-access operations/ directories, or micro-barrel trees.

CLI

mlg init
mlg generate contract --capabilities entities,errors,events,ports order
mlg generate data-access --contract order order
mlg generate data-access --contract form --modules form-state,marketing/campaign,marketing/subscriber form
mlg generate feature --modules cart,payment --data-access order checkout
mlg generate provider --entrypoints root,server stripe
mlg generate infra queue

Generate from a committed blueprint:

mlg generate blueprint ./blueprints/order.json

Audit or normalize an existing library:

mlg standardize --check libs/feature/checkout
mlg standardize libs/feature/checkout

mlg init creates mlg.config.json. It does not generate sample libraries or implicit provider/infra packages.

Blueprint

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "kind": "feature",
  "name": "checkout",
  "modules": [{ "name": "cart" }, { "name": "payment" }],
  "contract": "checkout",
  "dataAccess": ["order"],
  "entrypoints": ["root", "client", "server"],
  "testMode": "unit"
}

The same blueprint is accepted by every interface. Planning is deterministic and produces a hash, file set, package manifest, exports, dependencies, and project references before files are written.

Data-access module paths are recursive. marketing/campaign generates
src/lib/marketing/campaign/{service.ts,service.spec.ts,index.ts}; grouping directories do not receive duplicate services.

Contracts use the same paths to describe capabilities, but expose only top-level subdomain boundaries. For example, marketing/campaign and marketing/subscriber are both declared in src/lib/marketing/ports.ts. Providers are a single external SDK boundary and do not accept modules.

Committed blueprint files may express the same hierarchy structurally:

{
  "modules": [
    { "name": "form-state" },
    {
      "name": "marketing",
      "modules": [{ "name": "campaign" }, { "name": "subscriber" }]
    }
  ]
}
