cursor

A reference guide for the order, dependencies, and structure of a scaffold pipeline, which is a series of steps for building or setting up a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check pipeline phases, dependency rules, optional steps, and the commands associated with each phase.
Why use it?
It prevents steps from being run in the wrong order or before their prerequisites are complete.

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

cursor 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 yesterday.

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

Scaffold Pipeline Reference

This skill is a static reference for pipeline ordering and dependency constraints. It does NOT handle status checks, progress queries, or navigation.

Activation boundary: If the user asks "where am I?", "what's next?", "pipeline status", or anything about their current progress → do not use this skill. The scaffold-runner skill handles all status/navigation via the scaffold CLI.

Use this skill ONLY when the user asks about:

  • Pipeline design: "what phases are there?", "what's the ordering?"
  • Dependency rules: "what depends on what?", "can I run X before Y?"
  • Step reference: "what commands are in phase 3?", "is design-system optional?"

Run scaffold guides pipeline for the full phase/dependency reference (add --markdown for the plain-text body), and scaffold next to see which steps are eligible right now.

Changes

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.

cursor is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository zigrivers/scaffold (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 259 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
