scaffold

scaffold is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asysta-act/agent-flow. It costs 21 tokens per session (6,962 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup workflow that creates a new project from a description or adds a supported component to an existing project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a project or add Claude configuration, continuous integration, Docker, or tests to an existing one.
Why use it?
It avoids manually setting up common project files and structures from scratch.

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 4d 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 — 689 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold

Use the Read tool to load skills/scaffold/data/guard-block.md BEFORE any other instruction in this file. The guard is load-bearing; it establishes the orchestrator role, blocks pre-dispatch deferrals, and contains the rationalization-red-flags STOP protocol.

Input: $ARGUMENTS = either add <component> (subcommand mode) OR project description (natural language) + optional flags

Step 0 — Subcommand dispatch

Read the first non-empty token of $ARGUMENTS. If it equals add, branch into the add <component> subcommand body (see ## Subcommand: add <component> at the end of this file). Otherwise, fall through to the new-project flow (Flag Parsing section below).

read -ra ARG_TOKENS <<< "$ARGUMENTS"
FIRST_TOKEN="${ARG_TOKENS[0]:-}"

if [ "$FIRST_TOKEN" = "add" ]; then
  # Subcommand mode — extend an existing project with a single component.
  COMPONENT="${ARG_TOKENS[1]:-}"
  if [ -z "$COMPONENT" ]; then
    echo "[ERROR] Usage: /agent-flow:scaffold add <component>" >&2
    echo "Supported components: claude-md | ci | docker | tests" >&2
    exit 1
  fi
  case "$COMPONENT" in
    claude-md|ci|docker|tests) ;;
    *)
      echo "[ERROR] Unknown component: ${COMPONENT}" >&2
      echo "Supported components: claude-md | ci | docker | tests" >&2
      exit 1
      ;;
  esac
  # Branch into the Subcommand body at the END of this file (## Subcommand: add <component>).
  # The subcommand branch MUST exit after step 6 (Report) and MUST NOT fall through to the new-project flow.
fi

# Otherwise: existing new-project flow continues with Flag Parsing below.

The add subcommand is a single-shot operation and does NOT use resume detection. The new-project flow does — see the resume detection invocation immediately after Flag Parsing / Mode Resolution below.

Flag Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS for these flags:

Flag Variable Notes
--template <path> template_path
--spec <path> spec_path
--issue <ID> issue_id
--no-implement no_implement = true
--yolo GOT_YOLO = true B6 mode flag
--step-mode GOT_STEP_MODE = true B6 mode flag
--lang <v> preset_lang
--framework <v> preset_framework
--db <v> preset_db
--ci <v> preset_ci
--brainstorm brainstorm = true
--infra <v> infra_preset See validation below

Files

What ships with it

9 files 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 asysta-act/agent-flow (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 6,962 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
