scaffold

scaffold is a skill for Claude Code from mhlaghari/stuntman. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,448 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 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 memory or user-owned content.
  • appends a reply-style block (<!-- stuntman:style:start … end -->) to the same instruction file(s) — plain, short answers: answer first, five short sentences or fewer, one next step. Written once, so edits inside the block persist. To opt out, empty the block but keep its markers.
  • 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. HANDOFF.md and STATUS.md are snapshots, not logs: each session rewrites them (under 80 and 120 lines) and moves anything older to docs/handoff-archive.md.
  • appends or refreshes a managed agent roster block (<!-- stuntman:agents:start … end -->) in the same instruction file(s) — one full inventory snapshot shared by every selected host. Rerunning refreshes only that block; memory content is untouched, and user overrides persist outside the block. The roster states role preferences — Fable in Claude Code and Astra/GPT in Codex for spec writing and review, everything else executing through stunt — which are preferences, not availability or login proof. Installed means the CLI is on PATH, not that it is authenticated. Discovery runs opencode models / agy models with a short timeout and reads the local Codex model cache; it makes no model inference calls. Refreshing the snapshot never installs or configures models.

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.
