At a glance

A skill your agent uses when a microservice's generated files are corrupted, outdated, or need to be rebuilt from scratch.

  • Works in 3 steps: Read Local CLAUDE.md File → Regenerate the Boilerplate → Vet and Test
  • A microservices generated files are corrupted
  • Calls go
  • Need to be rebuilt from scratch

What it does

Regenerate Boilerplate is an agent skill from microbus-io/fabric. Use when a microservice's generated files are corrupted, outdated, or need to be rebuilt from scratch.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Project scaffolding and Microservices. The repository describes itself as: Microbus is the only fabric where every agentic workflow runs on a true microservice substrate - giving your workflows security, scale, observability, and prompt-driven authoring. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A microservices generated files are corrupted
  • Need to be rebuilt from scratch

Example prompts

  • “/regenerate-boilerplate”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read Local CLAUDE.md File
  2. Regenerate the Boilerplate
  3. Vet and Test

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb98098. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Regenerate Boilerplate loads about 499 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~499

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when a microservice's generated files are corrupted, outdated, or need to be rebuilt from scratch.

CRITICAL: Read and analyze this microservice before starting. Do NOT explore or analyze other microservices. The instructions in this skill are self-contained to this microservice.

The generated boilerplate is a pure projection of myserviceapi/definition.go. Rebuilding it is a single deterministic command - there is nothing to reconstruct by hand. The hand-written source (definition.go, sibling type files, service.go, service_test.go, resources/embed.go) is the source of truth and is never overwritten.

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Regenerating boilerplate:
- [ ] Step 1: Read local CLAUDE.md file
- [ ] Step 2: Regenerate the boilerplate
- [ ] Step 3: Vet and test
Step 1: Read Local CLAUDE.md File

Read the local CLAUDE.md file in the microservice's directory. It contains microservice-specific instructions that should take precedence over global instructions.

Confirm the hand-written source is intact: myserviceapi/definition.go (the spec), service.go (the handlers), and resources/embed.go. If resources/embed.go is missing, recreate it per the add-microservice skill. If definition.go itself is corrupted or missing, this skill cannot help - the boilerplate is derived from it, not the other way around.

Step 2: Regenerate the Boilerplate

From the microservice's directory, run the generator. It overwrites myserviceapi/client.go, intermediate.go, mock.go, mock_test.go, and manifest.yaml from definition.go, regardless of their prior state.

shell
go run github.com/microbus-io/fabric/cmd/genservice .
Step 3: Vet and Test

Run go vet ./... from the project root to verify the microservice compiles, then go test ./... (or the microservice's own package) to verify its tests pass. Fix any issues before finishing.
