Project Scaffolder

Project Scaffolder is an agent for coding agents from microsoft/skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project generator for Azure AI Foundry applications, creating a React and TypeScript frontend, a FastAPI Python backend, and Azure deployment files. Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft's platform for building and deploying AI applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold full-stack Azure applications with Vite, React, FastAPI, Pydantic, pytest, Ruff, Azure Developer CLI, Bicep, managed identity, and Azure Container Registry.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup work needed to assemble the frontend, backend, testing, authentication, container deployment, and infrastructure pieces of a new project.

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

Project Scaffolder scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

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.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
