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

repo-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 9d 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.

Repo Scaffold

Initialize GitHub repositories with standard files and configuration. This skill generates LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, CODEOWNERS, .gitignore, .editorconfig, YAML-based issue templates, PR template, CI config skeleton, and optional safety files. It detects project type from existing files and adapts all templates accordingly.

Install

claude skill install repo-scaffold

When to Use

This skill should be used when:

  • Setting up a new GitHub repository from scratch
  • Adding missing standard files to an existing repository
  • Standardizing repository configuration across projects
  • Preparing a private repo for open-source release

Usage

/repo-scaffold [repo-path] [--license MIT|Apache-2.0|ISC] [--public] [--ci github-actions|none]
Flag Default Description
repo-path . (cwd) Path to the git repository root
--license MIT License type (MIT, Apache-2.0, ISC, GPL-3.0, BSD-2-Clause)
--public off Include .public-repo, .pii-allowlist, .commit-msg-blocklist
--ci github-actions CI provider skeleton (github-actions or none)

Procedure

Step 1: Validate Repo Path

Confirm the target path is an initialized git repository (contains .git/). If not, halt and inform the user. Never run git init without explicit permission.

Step 2: Scan Existing Files

Inventory the repo root and .github/ directory for any files this skill would generate. Build a conflict list. Never overwrite existing files. If conflicts exist, present them and ask which to skip or replace.

Step 3: Detect Project Type

Identify the primary language and tooling by checking for marker files:

Marker File Project Type
package.json Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript
pyproject.toml, setup.py, requirements.txt Python
Cargo.toml Rust
go.mod Go
Multiple markers Multi-language
None of the above Generic

Changes

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.
