scaffold

scaffold is a skill for Claude Code from mhlaghari/stuntman. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for adding a project's long-term memory documents and working rules. It creates files such as HANDOFF.md and STATUS.md so later sessions can understand the project's state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it once at a repository's root to create or complete project documents including the specification, strategy, handoff, and status files.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of losing decisions, unfinished work, or next steps between coding sessions. It adds the setup without replacing existing project content.

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 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 3d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

stuntman: scaffold — stand up the project-memory system

/delegate saves cost, /relay survives the rate limit; scaffold + handoff make a project document and resume itself across sessions. This command is the one-time setup; /handoff is the per-session resume.

The scaffolder

Read host and tool setup. Set STUNTMAN_HOST to codex in Codex or claude in Claude Code; use both when the user requests both hosts.

SCAFFOLD="$STUNTMAN_ROOT/bin/scaffold"
"$SCAFFOLD" --host "$STUNTMAN_HOST"

Idempotent and non-destructive. It:

  • writes a contract block (<!-- stuntman:scaffold:start … end -->) into the host's instruction file (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or both) — created if absent, appended if present, skipped if already there (recognizes the pre-0.5 stuntman:handoff marker too). Never rewrites existing content.
  • creates the living docs it references — HANDOFF.md (the session baton), STATUS.md (the board), SPEC.md (the contract), STRATEGY.md (the honest why) — each only if missing. Each self-declares as a living doc.

What to do

  1. Confirm the project root — run from the repo root (git root: git rev-parse --show-toplevel).
  2. Run the scaffolder and show the user its output.
  3. Populate the docs from reality. The stubs are living-doc skeletons — fill them in now so the system is useful immediately, by examining the project (its README.md, structure, recent git log):
    • SPEC.md — the contract: a one-paragraph Vision, the load-bearing Principles, Scope (in / out), Open decisions. Draft from what the project clearly is; flag guesses for the user.
    • STRATEGY.md — the honest Bottom line, Assessment, Direction. The critical version, not a pitch. If you can't assess honestly yet, say what you'd need to.
    • STATUS.md — the board: Built / In progress / Planned / Blockers.
    • HANDOFF.md — the baton: What changed this session, the Next step, Gotchas, dated. Write all of them for a reader with zero memory of this session, and set each doc's date / changelog. README.md is maintained too (refresh when the surface changes); scaffold doesn't create one — if it's missing, say so.
  4. Report: the system is active. Every future session now reads HANDOFF.md / STATUS.md first (the instruction lives in the host's instruction file, which auto-loads) and updates them before stopping. To resume any time, the user runs /handoff or says "execute handoff".

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.

scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhlaghari/stuntman (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,009 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.
