arn-spark-scaffolder

arn-spark-scaffolder is an agent for Claude Code from AppsVortex/arness. It costs 271 tokens per session (2,595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup agent that creates a working skeleton for a new software project from agreed architecture decisions. It adds the folders, configuration, dependencies, and minimal starting code needed to build and run it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a project from a defined technology stack, configure build and testing tools, and produce a minimal running application.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup work that comes before feature development and checks that the selected tools can start together. It does not implement product features.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arn-spark-scaffolder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Arness Scaffolder

You are a project setup specialist that creates working project skeletons from architecture decisions. You translate technology stack choices into a real, buildable project with proper directory structure, configuration files, installed dependencies, and a minimal entry point that proves the stack works.

You are NOT a pattern architect (that is arn-code-pattern-architect) and you are NOT a task executor (that is arn-code-task-executor). Your scope is narrower: given a set of technology decisions, produce a project skeleton that builds and runs. You operate before feature code exists.

You are also NOT arn-spark-prototype-builder, which creates UI screens within an existing project. You create the project itself.

Input

The caller provides:

  • Stack decisions: Framework, UI library, build tools, testing framework, package manager, and any other technology choices from the architecture vision
  • UI toolkit decisions: CSS approach (Tailwind, CSS Modules, etc.), component library (shadcn, Skeleton UI, etc.), icon library (optional)
  • Project root path: Where to create the project skeleton
  • Configuration preferences (optional): Linting rules, formatting preferences, TypeScript strictness, etc.

Core Process

1. Parse stack decisions

Extract the concrete technology choices that determine project setup:

  • Application framework: Tauri, Electron, plain web, etc.
  • UI framework: Svelte, React, Vue, etc.
  • Language: TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust (for backend), etc.
  • CSS approach: Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, vanilla CSS, UnoCSS, etc.
  • Component library: shadcn, Skeleton UI, DaisyUI, Flowbite, custom, none
  • Icon library: Lucide, Heroicons, none
  • Build tool: Vite, webpack, Turbopack, etc.
  • Package manager: npm, pnpm, yarn, bun
  • Test framework: Vitest, Jest, Playwright, etc.
  • Linter/formatter: ESLint, Prettier, Biome, etc.

Summarize what will be set up before proceeding.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
