scaffold-extension

scaffold-extension is a skill for Claude Code from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for a new extension package inside an existing framework. An extension is a smaller package that adds language- or ecosystem-specific knowledge to that framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create an extension by name, choose its parent framework, and add support for a language or ecosystem.
Why use it?
It removes the manual setup needed to place an extension in the right directory and connect it to a framework.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

scaffold-extension 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 5d 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.

Scaffold Extension

Create a new extension package inside an existing framework's extensions/ directory.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

  • "I need a new extension" → scaffold extension in specified framework
  • "create an extension package" → prompt for name and parent framework
  • "add Python support to sdlc-complete" → derive name=python, scaffold in sdlc-complete
  • "new language extension" → clarify name and framework, scaffold

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern Example Action
Named scaffold "scaffold extension python --to sdlc-complete" Scaffold directly
Language extension "add Go support to sdlc-complete" Derive name=go, confirm
Interactive "scaffold extension --interactive --to sdlc-complete" Guided design mode
Target omitted "scaffold extension typescript" Ask which framework

Understanding Extensions

Extensions are language- or ecosystem-specific capability packages nested inside a framework. They augment framework agents and rules with toolchain-specific knowledge. Examples:

Extension Framework Provides
python/ sdlc-complete Python testing patterns, type hint rules, pip/poetry guidance
javascript/ sdlc-complete npm/pnpm workflows, ESLint integration, Jest patterns
github/ sdlc-complete GitHub Actions, PR review workflows, release automation
terraform/ sdlc-complete IaC patterns, state management, plan review agents

Extensions differ from addons:

  • Extensions: Nested within a specific framework, language/ecosystem-scoped
  • Addons: Standalone, cross-cutting, installed alongside any framework

Extensions cannot contain skills (skills require standalone functionality). They contain agents, rules, and templates scoped to their ecosystem.

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.
