code-scaffold-backport is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 42 tokens per session (957 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for fixing the template or generator that created a broken file, such as a project scaffold or cookiecutter template.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or repairing files produced by scaffolds, templates, or project-generation recipes.
Why use it?
Fixing only one generated copy leaves the same defect in every future project created from that template.

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

code-scaffold-backport 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 1mo 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.

Back-Port Instance Fixes Into Their Scaffold/Generator

When to Use This Skill

Situation Skill
Fixing, reviewing, or auditing a file a generator emitted — cookiecutter/copier template, justfile new-* recipe, a *-scaffold skill, a "copy the example app" doc This skill — patch the generator in the same sweep
Repeated code inside one codebase, with no generator behind it code-quality-plugin:dry-consolidation
Auditing a whole fleet of generated instances against their template The inverse direction — .claude/rules/generated-fleet-drift.md; an instance may legitimately be ahead of the template, so never auto-apply template → instance

When fixing something that was generated — a site scaffolded by a justfile recipe, a repo from a cookiecutter template, a config from a new-* skill — check whether the bug came from the generator, and if so, fix the generator in the same sweep. A fix applied only to the deployed instance leaves every future generation broken in the same way, and the gap is invisible until the next person scaffolds.

The failure mode

Canonical case (FVH sites monorepo, 2026-06): two PRs fixed the deployed example-static site — service.targetPort: 8080 for the non-root nginx image, numeric runAsUser for Kyverno — but the just new-site template that had produced those broken values was never touched. Every subsequently scaffolded site would have shipped with chart-default port-80 probes against an 8080 listener: pod never Ready, stuck Progressing, no error anywhere. Found and back-ported only weeks later during a readiness audit (sites#11).

The shape is always the same:

  1. An instance misbehaves; someone fixes the instance. PR merges, done.
  2. The generator still emits the pre-fix content.
  3. The next generation reproduces the bug — often for someone without the context of fix #1.

The rule

  • When fixing a generated artifact, ask: "did the generator produce this bug?" If yes, patch the generator template in the same PR (or an immediately linked one) — not as a someday follow-up.
  • When reviewing a fix to a known-scaffolded file (e.g. deploy/values.yaml in a monorepo with a new-* recipe, anything under a directory a cookiecutter emits), check the template for the same defect before approving.
  • When auditing a scaffold for readiness, diff the template's output against the oldest working instance — accumulated instance-only fixes show up as the delta.
