Microservice Gen
Developer tools toolkit for checking, validating, generating, formatting, linting, explaining, converting, templating, diffing, previewing, fixing, and reporting on code and configurations. Microservice Gen provides a complete devtools workflow with timestamped logging for every operation. All entries are stored locally for full traceability.

microservice-gen help | Show usage information and available commands |
microservice-gen version | Show version (v2.0.0) |
Data Storage
All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/microservice-gen/:
- Each command type has its own log file (e.g.,
check.log,generate.log,lint.log) - Entries are timestamped in
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|valueformat - A unified
history.logtracks all activity across commands - Export supports JSON, CSV, and plain text formats
- No external services or API keys required
Requirements
- Bash 4.0+ (uses
set -euo pipefail) - Standard UNIX utilities (
wc,du,grep,tail,sed,date) - No external dependencies — works on any POSIX-compatible system
When to Use
- Microservice scaffolding — Use
generateandtemplateto create boilerplate code, API definitions, and project structures for new services - Code quality enforcement — Use
check,validate,lint, andformatto ensure code meets standards before committing or deploying - Code review workflow — Use
diff,explain, andpreviewto document changes, understand complex code, and review generated output - Refactoring & fixes — Use
fix,convert, andformatto log refactoring decisions, format migrations, and patch applications - Development auditing — Use
stats,search,report, andexportto review development activity, track patterns, and generate team reports
Examples
# Generate a new service scaffold
microservice-gen generate "REST API service with user CRUD endpoints — Go + Chi router"
# Validate a configuration file
microservice-gen validate "Check docker-compose.yml against schema v3.8"
# Lint code for issues
microservice-gen lint "Run style checks on pkg/handler/*.go — enforce gofmt + golint"
# Create a template
microservice-gen template "Dockerfile template for Go microservice with multi-stage build"
# Diff two versions
microservice-gen diff "Compare v1.2 vs v1.3 API spec — breaking changes in /users endpoint"
# Search for all entries about a specific service
microservice-gen search user-service
# Export all data as JSON
microservice-gen export json
# View overall statistics
microservice-gen statsHow It Works
Each devtools command (check, generate, lint, etc.) works the same way:
- With arguments: Saves the input as a new timestamped entry and logs it to history
- Without arguments: Displays the 20 most recent entries for that command type
This makes Microservice Gen both a development tool and a searchable devops journal.
