mcp-rancher: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/scaffold.md

scaffold is a command for Claude Code from rex/mcp-rancher. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,289 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command that sets up a new coding repository from scratch so an AI coding assistant can work in it. A greenfield project is a project with no existing codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new project, detecting its Git setup, configuring the initial workflow, and preparing it for development.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup work involved in creating the repository structure and preparing its development workflow.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is rex/mcp-rancher's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-rancher itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-rancher configures →

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 C, and why

scaffold scanned grade C 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/scaffold — fresh agent-ready repo bootstrap

This command runs the full greenfield bootstrap top-to-bottom in this session. The user invoking it IS the consent — proceed without any "are we doing this?" check.

Step 0 — Detect git environment

Slash commands assume nothing about the working tree. Detect first:

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null   # is this even a git repo?
git symbolic-ref --short HEAD 2>/dev/null         # current branch (empty = detached)
git worktree list 2>/dev/null                     # main checkout vs worktree?
git config --get remote.origin.url 2>/dev/null    # remote URL (empty = no remote)

What matters:

  • Detached HEAD or git worktree: every PR's git checkout -b chore/... step will fail with "already used by worktree" or create an orphan branch. Adapt: skip the branch-creation step in each CHECKLIST and push with git push origin HEAD:<trunk> (where <trunk> is main, master, or whatever VIBE.yaml says).
  • No remote: push steps no-op silently. Surface that and ask the user to add a remote, or proceed without push.
  • Trunk-based development: if VIBE.yaml.workflow.branch_strategy: trunk exists, skip ALL git checkout -b steps and commit directly on the current branch.

Scaffolding a fresh dir? You'll git init later in Step 2 — none of the above applies yet.

Step 1 — Discovery (inline)

Ask only what you can't answer from context (fresh dir = ask all of Q1–Q5). Persist answers to .claude/session-context.md at the end.

Q1 — required: what's the goal of this session?

  • a) Quick task / single edit — exit /scaffold, do the small thing.
  • b) Just a question / chat — exit /scaffold, answer.
  • c) Iterate on existing agent-collab project — read existing VIBE.yaml, skip to Step 3.
  • d) Retrofit existing repo — exit /scaffold; tell user to run /retrofit.
  • e) New greenfield project — continue with Q2–Q5.
  • f) Other / write-in — parse free-text, propose a mode, confirm.

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.

scaffold is a command published in the GitHub repository rex/mcp-rancher (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 2,289 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
