Ran a real design-to-code mini task: the skill's plan step surfaced an ambiguous design decision (mutate vs. return-new) and asked before writing, which the unguided baseline silently assumed instead — but for a 2-file task the mandatory plan/approval/report ceremony is disproportionate overhead.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Code Generator does
Structures code implementation work into phases, each with an operation table (create/modify/delete), token-cost estimate, and before/after diff preview, and requires explicit user approval before writing files. Triggers when implementing a new module from a design doc, adding a feature to existing code, or generating a structured multi-file implementation.
How to install Code Generator
git clone https://github.com/Dqz00116/skill-lib
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skill-lib/code-generator ~/.claude/skills/code-generator
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Code Generator
-
/code-generatorTurns a design doc into a phase-by-phase implementation plan with cost estimates and an approval gate.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Turn this design doc into a phased implementation plan with costs -
Show me a diff preview before you generate any of these files -
Plan out the multi-file implementation for this new module
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Code Generator skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Dqz00116/skill-lib. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Code Generator work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran a real design-to-code mini task: the skill's plan step surfaced an ambiguous design decision (mutate vs. return-new) and asked before writing, which the unguided baseline silently assumed instead — but for a 2-file task the mandatory plan/approval/report ceremony is disproportionate overhead.
- What is the Code Generator SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Code Generator?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Code Generator with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
