• description: A brief description of the generation process.
• variables: A list of variables that the user can customize.
  • type: The type of the variable.

    • select: A dropdown menu.
  • message: The message to display to the user.
  • options: The options to display in the dropdown menu.
• files: A list of files that will be created or modified during the generation process.
  • path: The path to the file.
  • content: The content of the file.
