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

refresh-project-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 5d 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 — 510 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Refresh Project Scaffolding

Refresh the current repository's existing scaffolding against the latest templates and best practices from the agent-harness-plugins ecosystem. Detect which tools have been used, compare existing files against current standards, present a plan of what's out of date, confirm with the user, and apply targeted updates.

This is the maintenance companion to bootstrap-project: bootstrap sets things up, this keeps them current.

Scope: This skill audits tools already in use and updates their files to match current templates. For tools that are partially configured, it can restore missing expected files. It does not set up tools that were never used; for initial setup, use the bootstrap-project skill or the individual tool.

Workflow

1. Detect Project Type

Scan for language and framework markers using Glob. Exclude node_modules/, .yarn/, vendor/, and other dependency directories from all searches.

Marker(s) Project type
go.mod + (main.go or cmd/) Go CLI
go.mod without main.go or cmd/ Go library
package.json + JS/TS source files JavaScript/TypeScript
pyproject.toml, setup.py, requirements.txt Python
Cargo.toml Rust
Gemfile, *.gemspec Ruby
Package.swift Swift
*.sh, bin/*, scripts/* Shell

If multiple types are detected (monorepo), note all of them.

2. Detect Which Tools Have Been Used

For each tool in the ecosystem, check for its signature artifacts. Only tools whose artifacts are found will be audited.

Tool Signature artifacts
scaffold-new-repo LICENSE + README.md + .gitignore
scaffold-go-cli go.mod + cmd/ + .goreleaser.yml + .github/workflows/release.yml
scaffold-go-library go.mod (no cmd/) + .golangci.yml + .github/workflows/ci.yml
set-up-ci .github/workflows/ci.yml
set-up-linters .editorconfig or .prettierrc.json or .golangci.yml

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.
