+# prisma generate
+
+Generates assets based on the generator blocks in your Prisma schema, most commonly Prisma Client.
+
+## Command
+
+```bash
+prisma generate [options]
+```
+
+## Bun Runtime
+
+If you're using Bun, run Prisma with `bunx --bun` so it doesn't fall back to Node.js:
+
+```bash
+bunx --bun prisma generate
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+1. Reads your `schema.prisma` file
+2. Generates a customized Prisma Client based on your models
+3. Outputs to the directory specified in the generator block
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `--schema` | Custom path to your Prisma schema |
+| `--config` | Custom path to your Prisma config file |
+| `--sql` | Generate typed sql module |
+| `--watch` | Watch the Prisma schema and rerun after a change |
+| `--generator` | Generator to use (may be provided multiple times) |
+| `--no-hints` | Hides the hint messages but still outputs errors and warnings |
+| `--require-models` | Do not allow generating a client without models |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic generation
+
+```bash
+prisma generate
+```
+
+### Watch mode (development)
+
+```bash
+prisma generate --watch
+```
+
+Auto-regenerates when `schema.prisma` changes.
+
+### Specific generator
+
+```bash
+prisma generate --generator client
+```
+
+### Multiple generators
+
+```bash
+prisma generate --generator client --generator zod_schemas
+```
+
+### Typed SQL generation
+
+```bash
+prisma generate --sql
+```
+
+## Schema Configuration
+
+```prisma
+generator client {
+  provider = "prisma-client"
+  output   = "../generated"
+}
+```
+
+### Current Generator Behavior
+
+- `prisma-client` is the standard generator
+- `output` is required when using `prisma-client`
+- `prisma-client` supports both ESM and CommonJS via `moduleFormat`
+- `compilerBuild` supports `fast` and `small` query compiler artifacts
+- Use TypeScript `satisfies` for typed query fragments with `prisma-client`
+- Import Prisma Client from your generated output path, for example:
+
+```typescript
+import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/prisma/client'
+```
+
+### Compiler Build Tuning
+
+Use `compilerBuild` when you need to trade artifact size against the default build:
+
+```prisma
+generator client {
+  provider      = "prisma-client"
+  output        = "../generated"
+  compilerBuild = "small"
+}
+```
+
+- `fast` is the default build for most targets
+- `small` is useful for size-constrained targets
+- Prisma defaults `vercel-edge` targets to `small`
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### After schema changes
+
+```bash
+prisma migrate dev --name my_migration
+prisma generate
+```
+
+Run `prisma generate` whenever you need refreshed client code after schema-changing commands.
+
+### CI/CD pipeline
+
+```bash
+prisma generate
+```
+
+Run before building your application.
+
+### Multiple generators
+
+```prisma
+generator client {
+  provider = "prisma-client"
+  output   = "../generated"
+}
+
+generator zod {
+  provider = "zod-prisma-types"
+  output   = "../generated/zod"
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+prisma generate  # Runs all generators
+```
+
+## Output Structure
+
+After running `prisma generate`, your output directory contains:
+
+```
+generated/
+├── browser.ts
+├── client.ts
+├── commonInputTypes.ts
+├── models/
+├── enums.ts
+├── models.ts
+└── ...
+```
+
+Import the client:
+
+```typescript
+import { PrismaClient, Prisma } from '../generated/prisma/client'
+```
+
+Import browser-safe types:
+
+```typescript
+import { Prisma } from '../generated/prisma/browser'
+import { Role } from '../generated/prisma/enums'
+import type { UserModel } from '../generated/prisma/models/User'
+```
