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.

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 | $0.00026 | $0.00302 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00121 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
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 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.
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.
What it actually says
Project Scaffolding
Create the smallest useful repository or maintain its reusable template. Copier is the default for new templates; keep existing Cookiecutter/Cruft projects on their current workflow.
Workflow
Read only the matching guide and its required resources. Use a known guide directly when shared prerequisites are not needed.
Task guides
- bootstrap: Create a new repository: location, visibility, stack composition, shared layer, validation, and first push.
- cookiecutter: Generate from existing Cookiecutter templates and update Cruft-tracked projects without losing local edits.
- copier: Author new reusable Copier templates, generate projects, and apply tracked template updates.
- project-license: Choose, write, and declare a repository LICENSE (MIT, CC-BY-4.0, or proprietary) by namespace and content.
What ships with it
7 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.
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.

project-scaffolding is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 302 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-17.
Other skills, from other repositories
github-issues
Manage GitHub issues with gh: confirm repo and state, deduplicate, preserve evidence, and verify authorized creation, edits, labels, comments, or closure.
product-loop
Discovery, specification, launch, and learning for a product in one loop. Build-or-stop calls, MVP wedges, demand tests, customer interviews, PRDs, requirements, user journeys, acceptance, positioning, onboarding, rollout, pricing, pivots.
project-backlog
Turn audit findings into deduplicated, prioritized issue drafts with dependencies and explicit authorization before GitHub mutation.
dotfiles-bootstrap
Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
vibe
Delegate a coding task to a cheap AI model (Mistral Vibe by default, but any provider Vibe knows about — DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, etc.) and supervise the result via git diff. Claude orchestrates, the cheap model codes. Claude consumes 500-1500 tokens per delegation regardless of how many file reads the delegate does…
work-on
End-to-end workflow for shipping a GitHub issue. Assesses complexity, builds a tailored workflow, and orchestrates skills from research through PR.
