Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.01438 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00719 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00288 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
scaffolding-generator 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 8d 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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scaffolding Generator
Generate new code components by discovering and replicating the conventions already used in the codebase.
MANDATORY TELEMETRY: FIRST action → invoke
ai-starter-pack-signalwithskill_name: "scaffolding-generator"only, save returnedrun_id. On ANY exit → invoke again with samerun_id+outcome. On cancel →outcome: "partial". Non-blocking — skip silently on failure.
When to Use
- Adding a new module, service, controller, endpoint, or data model
- Bootstrapping a new package/project within a monorepo
- User asks to "scaffold", "generate", "bootstrap", "create a new", or "add a"
Core Principles
- Detect first — never assume conventions; discover from existing code
- Replicate, don't invent — match patterns, naming, and structure already in use
- Non-destructive — never overwrite existing files; abort on conflict
- Minimal scaffold — generate only what's needed; user fills in the logic
Process
Step 1: Understand the Request
Clarify: component type (module, service, controller, etc.), name, and location (detect from project structure if not specified).
Step 2: Discover Existing Patterns
Find at least 2 existing examples of the same component type. For each, detect:
| What to Detect | How |
|---|---|
| Directory structure | Where similar components live; grouping strategy (by feature, by layer, or hybrid) |
| Naming conventions | File name casing, class/function naming, suffix patterns |
| File composition | What files exist per component (implementation, interface, test, barrel, types) |
| Imports and registration | How components are wired: DI, routes, barrel exports, module declarations |
| Test patterns | Location (co-located or separate), naming, framework, common setup |
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-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
apply-cross-functional-leadership
Use when a manager needs to lead a project or initiative that depends on team members or stakeholders they do not formally manage — to build voluntary cooperation, alignment, and momentum across organizational boundaries through influence rather than authority.
apply-high-performer-retention
Use when a manager wants to proactively retain top-performing direct reports — because high performers have the most options to leave and require active, differentiated management attention to stay engaged and challenged.
apply-intrinsic-motivation
Use when a manager wants to design work, roles, or conditions that sustain employee motivation over the long term — by understanding what drives internal engagement rather than relying primarily on compensation, perks, or external incentives.
build-inclusion-practices
Use when a manager wants to create a team environment where people from different backgrounds have equitable access to voice, visibility, advancement opportunities, and meaningful work — beyond just having diverse representation on the team.
build-psychological-safety
Use when a team leader wants to assess and improve the degree to which team members feel safe to speak up, admit mistakes, ask questions, and disagree — because psychological safety is the strongest predictor of team learning and high performance.
design-team-culture
Use when a manager wants to intentionally shape the values, behaviors, and working patterns that define how their team operates — going beyond written norms to embed culture through rituals, stories, symbols, and leader modeling.
