scaffold

A scaffolding guide that generates the files needed for a new integration, API endpoint, or feature flag.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create integrations such as Jira or Google Drive, add complete API endpoints, or set up feature flags.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of copying an existing project's patterns across all parts of a new feature.

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

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold

Generate the complete file set for a new integration, endpoint, or feature flag.

Usage

/scaffold integration <name>    # Full integration scaffold
/scaffold endpoint <name>       # API endpoint scaffold
/scaffold feature-flag <name>   # Feature flag scaffold (delegates to /unleash-flag)

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Parse the scaffold type and name from $ARGUMENTS. If ambiguous, ask the user.

Integration Scaffold

Based on the established integration pattern (Jira, CodeRabbit, Google Drive), generate the full file set.

Backend Files

File Purpose Template
components/backend/handlers/{provider}_auth.go Auth handlers + K8s Secret CRUD Follow jira_auth.go pattern
components/backend/handlers/integration_validation.go Add validation + test endpoint Add Validate{Provider} function
components/backend/handlers/integrations_status.go Add to unified status Add provider to status aggregation
components/backend/handlers/runtime_credentials.go Session credential fetch with RBAC Add fetch{Provider}Credentials
components/backend/routes.go Register endpoints Add route group with auth middleware

Frontend Files

File Purpose Template
components/frontend/src/components/integrations/{provider}-connection-card.tsx Integration card UI Follow existing integration card (e.g., Jira)
components/frontend/src/services/api/{provider}-auth.ts API client Follow existing auth service pattern
components/frontend/src/services/queries/use-{provider}.ts React Query hooks Follow existing query hook pattern
components/frontend/src/app/api/auth/{provider}/route.ts Next.js proxy route Follow existing auth proxy
components/frontend/src/components/integrations/IntegrationsClient.tsx Add card import Update imports + render
components/frontend/src/components/integrations/integrations-panel.tsx Add to panel Update panel

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository ambient-code/platform (129 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 1,150 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
