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
