haiku-scaffold

haiku-scaffold is a skill for Claude Code from gigsmart/haiku-method. It costs 24 tokens per session (195 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A template generator for H·AI·K·U artifacts such as studios, stages, hats, and providers. These artifacts define parts of a structured workflow for agent-based work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a custom studio, stage, hat, or provider and when you need the expected file structure and template sections.
Why use it?
It avoids manually creating the required folders, files, and parent-list entries for a new artifact.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

haiku-scaffold 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.

What it actually says

Scaffold

Create custom H·AI·K·U artifact templates. Ask the user which type and name.

  • Studio: .haiku/studios/{name}/STUDIO.md + stages/ directory
  • Stage: .haiku/studios/{studio}/stages/{name}/STAGE.md + hats/ and review-agents/ dirs. Add to parent studio's stages list.
  • Hat: .haiku/studios/{studio}/stages/{stage}/hats/{name}.md with Focus, Produces, Reads, Anti-patterns. Add to parent stage's hats list.
  • Provider: .haiku/providers/{name}.md copied from $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/providers/{category}.md as template.

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.
