scaffolding

scaffolding is a skill for Claude Code from AvinashP/AgentsAtlas. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,026 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code generator for creating the starting files for a new component, module, or service. It first checks the project’s existing naming, folder, export, styling, and testing patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when scaffolding a new part of an application, such as a user-interface component, backend module, or service.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive setup work and helps new code fit the conventions already used in the project.

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

scaffolding 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 6d 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.

Scaffolding Skill

Generate boilerplate code that matches existing project conventions.

Workflow

1. Detect Project Conventions

Before generating, find existing patterns:

# Find similar files
find . -name "*.tsx" -path "*/components/*" | head -5

# Check file structure
ls -la src/components/

# Look at existing code
cat src/components/Button/Button.tsx

Key conventions to detect:

  • File/folder structure (flat vs nested)
  • Naming conventions (PascalCase, camelCase, kebab-case)
  • Export style (default vs named)
  • Import style (relative vs aliases)
  • Test co-location (same folder or separate)
  • Styling approach (CSS Modules, styled-components, Tailwind)

2. Match Project Style

Always match:

Aspect Check for
File naming Button.tsx, button.tsx, Button.component.tsx
Folder structure Button/index.tsx or Button.tsx
Component style function vs arrow, FC type vs implicit
Props definition interface vs type, inline vs separate
Exports export default vs export const
Test files .test.tsx, .spec.tsx, __tests__/

3. Generate Code

Include what's standard in the project:

  • Main file (component/module)
  • Types/interfaces (if TypeScript)
  • Test file (if tests exist nearby)
  • Index file (if using barrel exports)
  • Styles (if using CSS Modules)
  • Stories (if using Storybook)

4. Verify Output

Check generated code:

  • Follows detected conventions
  • Imports resolve correctly
  • TypeScript compiles (if applicable)
  • Matches similar files in project

Quick Reference

Scaffolding Commands

Ask for scaffolding like:

  • "Create a new UserProfile component"
  • "Scaffold a PaymentService"
  • "Generate a useAuth hook"
  • "Create a products API route"

What to Generate

Type Usually Includes
React Component Component file, types, test, styles, index
API Route Handler, types, validation, test
Service Class/module, types, test
Hook Hook file, types, test
Utility Function file, types, test

Files

What ships with it

3 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.

scaffolding is a skill published in the GitHub repository AvinashP/AgentsAtlas (7 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,026 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
