+#### Custom Generator Workflow
+
+To plug in a custom generator for one or more example types:
+In config/application.rb:
+
+    config.app_generators do |g|
+      g.routing_specs =   :my_fancy_routing_specs
+      g.controller_specs =  :my_fancy_controller_specs
+      g.view_specs =  :my_fancy_view_specs
+    end
+
+These generators should all live in lib/generators/rspec and the classes should be
+declared as `Rspec::Generators::MyFancyRoutingSpecsGenerator`, and so on.  Make copies
+of the ones from this git repo to use as templates.

 ### Autotest
 
 The `rspec:install` generator creates an `./autotest/discover.rb` file, which
