Description
User Story
As a user, I want to customize how chef generate generates things. The docs say I can point it to a cookbook, but provide no sample cookbooks, nor point to the embedded cookbook.
Description
The docs should provide guidance on building a custom code_generator cookbook. Maybe this is somewhere I missed it, but I couldn't find it.

Research direction
Start with the documentation for chef generate and locate the references to a code_generator cookbook and the embedded cookbook. Check whether guidance or sample cookbooks already exist elsewhere in the documentation. Done means the docs explain how to build a custom code_generator cookbook, or link clearly to the existing guidance.
