scaffold-framework

scaffold-framework is a skill for Claude Code from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,220 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scaffolding tool for creating the directory and file structure of an AIWG framework. A framework here is a package that describes a complete way to manage a type of work from start to finish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start frameworks with a name, guided questions, or custom phases such as discovery, analysis, modelling, and deployment.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup involved in starting a new framework and can derive a structure from a name, description, or list of phases.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    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-framework 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 7d 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 — 286 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold Framework

Create a complete framework package structure inside agentic/code/frameworks/.

Triggers

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

  • "I need a new framework" → scaffold framework with guided design
  • "create an AIWG framework" → prompt for name, scaffold
  • "build a lifecycle framework for X" → derive name from X, scaffold with interactive mode
  • "new framework package" → prompt for name and description

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern Example Action
Named scaffold "scaffold framework legal-ops" Scaffold directly
Interactive "scaffold framework --interactive" Full guided design mode
Described "create a framework for content production pipelines" Derive name=content-production, confirm
Phased "scaffold framework data-science --phases discovery,analysis,modeling,deployment" Scaffold with custom phases

Understanding Frameworks

Frameworks are major capability bundles that model complete operational lifecycles. They contain everything a team needs to manage a specific type of work end-to-end. Examples:

Framework Purpose Scale
sdlc-complete Software development lifecycle ~58 agents, 100+ templates
media-marketing-kit Marketing operations ~37 agents, campaign lifecycle
forensics-complete Digital forensics and IR Investigation lifecycle
research-complete Research workflow automation Research phases

Frameworks differ from addons:

  • Frameworks: Define a complete lifecycle with phases, transitions, and gate criteria
  • Addons: Provide cross-cutting feature bundles installed alongside any framework

Framework creation is a significant undertaking. Study existing frameworks before building new ones. Start with core agents per phase, then expand.

Process

1. Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

  • <name> — kebab-case framework name (required)
  • --description "<text>" — short description (optional; prompted if absent)
  • --phases "<p1,p2,...>" — comma-separated phase list (optional; defaults to inception,elaboration,construction,transition)
  • --author "<name>" — author name (optional)
  • --interactive — enable guided design questions

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.
