⚠️ Potential issue

Bug: Treating a file path as a Directory.

outputPath holds a file path (includes options.outputFile) but is typed/constructed as Directory. Use File to avoid semantic confusion and potential path issues.

-  final outputPath = Directory(
-    path.join(current.path, output.path, options.outputFile),
-  );
+  final outputFile = File(
+    path.join(current.path, output.path, options.outputFile),
+  );

Also update the call site at Line 143 and the generateFile signature accordingly (see separate diffs).

In bin/generate.dart around lines 125-127, the current filter mixes JSON and
YAML when format='yaml' and can include directories; update the filtering to
first exclude non-files using FileSystemEntity.isFileSync(path) and then match
extensions deterministically: build the allowed extensions based on the selected
format (e.g., ['json'] for 'json', ['yaml','yml'] for 'yaml'), compile a RegExp
that matches the extension at the end of the path with caseSensitive: false, and
filter files by both being a real file and matching that regex.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

⚠️ Potential issue

Keys generation reads only YAML; restore JSON support and validate top-level structure.

Use a shared parser that detects by extension and ensures a top-level map.

-  // Parse YAML file
-  final yamlString = await fileData.readAsString();
-  final yamlData = loadYaml(yamlString);
-  Map<String, dynamic> translations = _yamlToMap(yamlData);
+  // Parse file (.json, .yml, .yaml)
+  final Map<String, dynamic> translations = await _parseTranslations(fileData);

Additional helper to add (see snippet below in this comment thread).

Add this helper outside the function (near _yamlToMap):

// Parses .json, .yml, .yaml into a Map<String, dynamic>.
Future<Map<String, dynamic>> _parseTranslations(File file) async {
  final ext = path.extension(file.path).toLowerCase();
  final content = await file.readAsString();
  if (ext == '.json') {
    final decoded = json.decode(content);
    if (decoded is! Map) {
      throw FormatException('Top-level JSON must be an object');
    }
    return Map<String, dynamic>.from(decoded as Map);
  }
  final yamlRoot = loadYaml(content);
  final map = _yamlToMap(yamlRoot);
  if (map.isEmpty && yamlRoot is! YamlMap) {
    throw FormatException('Top-level YAML must be a mapping');
  }
  return map;
}
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In bin/generate.dart around lines 189 to 208, the _writeKeys function currently
reads only YAML files and directly calls loadYaml, so JSON input and top-level
structure validation are missing; replace the inline YAML-only parsing with a
shared async parser that checks the file extension ('.json' vs '.yml'/' .yaml'),
decodes JSON into a Map and throws a FormatException if the decoded top-level is
not a Map, or for YAML uses loadYaml then converts via _yamlToMap and throws if
the YAML root is not a mapping; add this helper function outside _writeKeys
(near _yamlToMap) and call it from _writeKeys instead of the current YAML-only
code so both JSON and YAML are supported and validated.
