Yes and no.  The "no" part is that Nitro (gen, actually) only knows one 
trick: "gen app"

On the other hand, I wrote my own controller stub generator with very 
little effort.

Perhaps there should be a way for people to submit their own generators 
for possible inclusion in future releases.

I'd really like a way for me to bundle up my custom generators as a gem, 
so others can install it if they like, with the new generator callable 
from the gen tool.  Or teach gen to fetch custom generators from a URL, 
perhaps as the Rails folks have done for their community-created plug-ins.
