Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00085 | $0.00559 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
scaffold-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Skill: scaffold-guide
The complete, canonical contract for this skill is the paste-prompt it wraps, inlined here — follow it in full:
!cat "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompt.md"
(If the block above came back empty or errored, read prompt.md in this skill folder — it sits beside this SKILL.md — and follow that.)
As you follow it, adapt for the fact that you're a Claude Code skill, not a pasted prompt:
- You're already invoked — skip its "How to use / paste this" preamble. The approved plan is at
guide/PLAN.md(written there byplan-guide); read it from disk. It may also be$ARGUMENTSbelow (attached, pasted, or already in the conversation). Don't move or overwriteguide/PLAN.md— scaffold the rest of the guide around it. - You have file tools here — write the skeleton to disk under
guide/(the prompt describes each file), rather than only printing fenced blocks. This includes seeding an emptyguide/feedback-log.mdfromtemplates/feedback-log.md. Then list what you created. - Where the prompt hands off to another prompt by filename, use the sibling skill of the same name
(
/draft-milestone). - Read the GuideForge version yourself — the prompt's provenance rule needs the plugin
version. Read it with your file tools from the plugin's.claude-plugin/plugin.json(it sits two levels up from this skill folder:${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../.claude-plugin/plugin.json), then stamp that exact value into theREADME.mdprovenance line + Updates seed and thestatus.mdprovenance line. Don't ask the user for it — you can read it.
Plan / args:
$ARGUMENTS
Gate: write only the skeleton + foundation docs, not step content; leave undecided template headings empty rather than guessing.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

scaffold-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomthebearded/guide-forge (3 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 559 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.

shadow-tutor
Post-session programming tutor for a developer who wants to grow. Use after an AI-assisted coding session to learn from it — it picks the one load-bearing decision the AI made that you most likely don't truly understand, makes you predict why before it reveals (breaking the "I get it" illusion), teaches the why…
codetrain
Use when the user wants to be taught/walked through code one tiny step at a time — triggers like "teach me this code", "walk me through this", "hold my hand", "explain step by step", "tutor me", "guide me through", "I want to learn this", or asks for a safe practice exercise to learn a concept.
learning-tutor
Use when a developer wants to learn about the codebase, start a learning session, understand how something works, or progress through the curriculum. Activates when the intent is learning rather than doing. Trigger phrases: "I'm new here", "walk me through", "help me understand", "start a learning session", "what…
curriculum-reviewer
Use when reviewing AI-generated curriculum content in the human review queue. Activates when working through .codebase-mooc/memory/humanreviewqueue.jsonl or when asked to review, approve, or assess generated curriculum content. Trigger phrases: "review the curriculum", "check the review queue", "approve this content"…
book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's…
ljg-learn
Deep concept anatomist that deconstructs any concept through 8 exploration dimensions (history, dialectics, phenomenology, linguistics, formalization, existentialism, aesthetics, meta-philosophy) and compresses insights into an epiphany. Use when user asks to explain, dissect, or deeply understand a concept, term, or…
