kb-scaffold

A command that creates an empty Obsidian knowledge-base vault for a project. Obsidian is an app for storing linked notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to create the vault structure first and manage its Architecture, Research, and Sessions notes yourself.
Why use it?
It gives you the standard folders and placeholder notes without analyzing or documenting the codebase.

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.

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

kb-scaffold 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 2d 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.

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.

What it actually says

/kb-scaffold

Trigger the kb-scaffold skill. Read the instructions from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/kb-scaffold/SKILL.md in this plugin and follow them exactly.

This creates an empty vault with the standard folder structure (Architecture/, Research/, Sessions/) and placeholder notes. It does NOT analyze your codebase or generate content - that's what /kb-init does.

Use /kb-scaffold when you want to manage the vault's content yourself. Use /kb-init for the full flow (scaffold + codebase analysis + documentation audit).

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.
