scaffold

scaffold is a command for coding agents from pixeltable/pixeltable-skill. It costs 16 tokens per session (265 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for creating Pixeltable projects from templates or basic project structures. Pixeltable is a framework for building applications and data pipelines that work with media and AI models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start knowledge bases, chat agents, transcription apps, video or media search projects, image datasets, or basic serving, backend, and batch projects.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing project layouts and ensures the requested template or structure exists in the installed generator.

Command

Part of the pixeltable plugin — 1 skill, 2 commands, 2 agents, 2 hooks shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/pixeltable/pixeltable-skill/scaffold
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

Or install pixeltable, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 2 commands, 2 agents, 2 hooks.

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

scaffold 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The last argument (`my_app`) is a catalog name, not a folder on disk. Try the app: insert, curl a route, or `pxt dashboard`. Pass `-f` when there is no TTY.

What it actually says

Start a Pixeltable project with the CLI. Then edit app.py.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Steps:

  1. Pick a fresh directory. Install, mark the project root, and write a working file:
mkdir myapp && cd myapp
pip install 'pixeltable[serve]'
pxt init
pxt service example --out app.py

Schema only (no HTTP): pxt schema example --brief --out app.py.

  1. Create tables, then start HTTP:
pxt schema update app.py my_app
pxt service update app.py my_app -f
pxt service list

The last argument (my_app) is a catalog name, not a folder on disk. Try the app: insert, curl a route, or pxt dashboard. Pass -f when there is no TTY.

  1. Extra features (RAG, video, agents, a UI) are added in app.py. Start from the example file. Do not invent a second pxt schema update path.

  2. State the directory you created and the commands you ran.

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.
