A setup process for creating an AI Registry: a structured folder of linked notes that records a business’s concepts, workflows, processes, and supporting material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the registry structure, document the business schema, write an initial workflow node, and link related business and process information.
Why use it?
It gives an AI workflow a consistent knowledge base instead of leaving business information scattered across files.

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

scaffolding-registry 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffolding Registry

Stand up a leader's AI Registry as an OKF v0.2 knowledge bundle: a registry/ folder with a SCHEMA.md producer profile and concept nodes for their real business. This is the on-ramp: a guided interview that captures the leader's real business, lines of business, functions, and processes. It names no workflows: the analyze skill does that next, writing them into the backlog.

What this builds

The registry lives in the working folder, the one folder that holds the leader's AI Registry (registry/), their workflows (framework/, the framework folder) and their knowledge graph (knowledge/). Where that folder is depends on where the leader works (see Where the files live below): on Claude Code and Codex it is the workspace; on the web (Claude, ChatGPT) and in Microsoft 365 Copilot (Cowork), a folder in the leader's Google Drive or OneDrive, ai-workspace/ unless they keep another; on Claude desktop, the folder the leader selects in the prompt window. The layout inside it is the same everywhere:

<working folder>/            ← the workspace on Claude Code and Codex; ai-workspace/ (or the leader's own folder) elsewhere
├── REGISTRY.md              ← Tier 1 dashboard (derived, never hand-edited)
├── registry-dashboard.html  ← Tier 2 visual dashboard (derived; always generated at setup)
├── registry/                ← the OKF v0.2 bundle
│   ├── SCHEMA.md            ← producer profile (written by scaffolding-registry)
│   ├── index.md             ← bundle root; frontmatter okf_version: "0.2"

│   │       (each typed directory has its own index.md)
├── framework/               ← the framework folder (made by the first step that saves a workflow, never by this skill)

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.
