Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00135 | $0.01767 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00707 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00353 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00177 |
Grade A, and why
scaffold-python 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 5d 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 — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scaffold Python Project
Generate a production-ready Python project following established CI/CD patterns. Read the scaffold-project skill first for standard files (README, AGENTS.md, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, llms.txt).
When to Use
- Creating a new Python CLI, library, or application
- Adding CI/CD to an existing Python project missing workflows
- Standardizing a Python project to match org conventions

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-python is a skill published in the GitHub repository urmzd/dotfiles (4 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 1,767 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
