feat(dx): WP-43 — plop generators (value-object, form-machine)
Runnable `npm run gen:value-object` / `gen:form-machine` (plop) that scaffold the two
pure-TS house patterns with a co-located spec: a branded value object + parseX (mirrors
postcode/bsn), and an Elm-style form/wizard machine (Draft/Valid/Errors + Editing/
Submitting/Submitted/Failed union + initial/pure reduce/assertNever). Prompts take
context + PascalCase name (positional-arg bypass); a post-action reminds to add the
English target for the generated $localize id. Templates in plop-templates/ (prettier-
ignored). Skills (value-object, form-machine) point at the generators. ui-component +
bff-endpoint stay skill-driven (Angular {{}} / backend + gen:api).

WP-43 — Runnable leaf generators

Status: done (value-object + form-machine; ui-component/bff-endpoint kept as skills) Phase: 8 — platform/DX/showcase Priority: P3

Outcome

Tool = plop. plopfile.mjs + plop-templates/ provide two runnable generators for the pure-TS patterns: npm run gen:value-object (branded type + parseX + spec, mirrors postcode/bsn) and npm run gen:form-machine (Draft/Valid/Errors + Editing/Submitting/Submitted/Failed union + initial/pure reduce/assertNever + spec, mirrors change-request.machine). Prompts take context + PascalCase name (positional-arg bypass for scripting); each emits a co-located spec so the "pure logic must have a spec" rule holds by default; a post-action reminds to add the English <target> for the generated $localize id. Smoke-tested (both generate → lint + dep:check clean), then the demo output removed. Skills (value-object, form-machine) point at the generator. plop-templates/ is prettier-ignored (Handlebars, not TS).

Scoped out (kept as skills): gen:ui-component (Angular template {{ }} collides with Handlebars) and gen:bff-endpoint (spans the C# backend + gen:api regen) — a generator adds little over the recipe there.

Why

The house patterns (value object, form machine, bff endpoint, ui component) are documented only as agent-executed prose skills; there's no npm run gen:* a developer runs to emit the boilerplate. For a template meant to bootstrap real registers, mechanise the highest-churn recipes.

Decisions

  • Step 1 — tool fork: plop (recommended: tiny, readable templates, npm run gen:*) vs Angular schematics (native ng generate, heavier to author). Decide before building.
  • Generators emit house-pattern files with co-located spec/story, matching current idioms: gen:value-object, gen:form-machine (page/wizard), gen:bff-endpoint, gen:ui-component.
  • Templates become the single source; each matching skill gets a one-line "run npm run gen:x, then …".

Files

  • New plopfile.mjs (or schematics/) + template files; package.json gen:* scripts.
  • Update the corresponding .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md to invoke the generator.

Acceptance criteria

  • gen:value-object + gen:form-machine emit files that pass npm run lint + dep:check with no hand-edits beyond the domain specifics (rule/fields) + the en.xlf target.
  • Generated units include their co-located spec.
  • Smoke-tested both; npm run ci green.
