boilerplate

boilerplate is a skill for Claude Code from ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,884 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the templates used to generate a command-line tool. It explains which template receives which variables and how options such as the website protocol, login method, and resources affect the generated files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running scaffold-cli.py, choosing generation options, checking the template inventory, and understanding the boilerplate produced for a website integration.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when scaffolding the initial code and helps keep generated tools consistent with the project’s conventions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

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

boilerplate 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 9d 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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Boilerplate Generator (Template-Driven)

Primary method: run the v2 scaffold script — it renders everything below deterministically and writes a .manifest.json provenance file:

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/scaffold-cli.py <app>/agent-harness \
  --app-name <app> \
  --protocol <rest|graphql|html-scraping|batchexecute> \
  --http-client <httpx|curl_cffi> \
  --auth-type <none|cookie|api-key|google-sso> \
  --resource <name> [--resource <name> ...] \
  [--has-polling] [--has-context] [--has-partial-ids]

Requires pip install jinja2 (TEMPLATE_VERSION 2.1.0). Each repeatable --resource flag scaffolds a commands/<resource>.py module.

If the script is unavailable, do NOT render templates by hand from memory — follow skills/shared/RECOVERY.md §scaffold-cli.py Unavailable (adapt from the newest generated CLI, e.g., capitoltrades/agent-harness/).

All templates live in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/*.tpl (Jinja2 syntax). Generated code must satisfy skills/shared/CONVENTIONS.md — the templates already encode those rules; never "simplify" them away.


Step 1: Collect Template Variables

Variable Type Source Example
app_name str CLI name (cli-web-<app><app>) hackernews
APP_NAME str UPPER_SNAKE (hyphens → underscores first) HACKERNEWS
AppName str PascalCase HackerNews
protocol enum traffic-analysis.json: rest, graphql, html-scraping, batchexecute rest
http_client enum protection detection: httpx, curl_cffi httpx
auth_type enum site profile: none, cookie, api-key, google-sso cookie
resources list[str] <APP>.md endpoint groups (one --resource flag each) stories users
has_polling bool async/long-running operations exist false
has_context bool CLI needs use <id> / status context false
has_partial_ids bool resource IDs support prefix matching false

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.

boilerplate is a skill published in the GitHub repository ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB (215 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,884 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
