scaffold SKILL.md skillA

scaffold from jkaloger/lazyspec is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add jkaloger/lazyspec/scaffold@git:20260903.f1f85b0

Pins git:20260903.f1f85b0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when creating a new document of a configured type at the most manual authorship level -- AI creates the file and frontmatter, surfaces intent and section guidance, then hands the body back to the human.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

```
CREATE THE SHELL, HAND THE BODY BACK
```

<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT write the document body. Scaffold creates the file, frontmatter, and links, then surfaces the type's intent and section guidance for the human to fill in.
Read the target type's config from `lazyspec config --json` before creating anything; the type is a parameter, never assumed.
</HARD-GATE>

<NEVER>
- Do NOT hand-edit document files to create or link them. Use `lazyspec create` (seed with `--body`) and `lazyspec link`. To change body content, use `lazyspec update <id> --body` -- for EVERY store, filesystem included. (Scaffold itself writes no body; it hands that back to the human.)
- Do NOT edit a document you haven't read. Always `lazyspec show <id> --json` or `Read` first.
- Do NOT skip the workflow pipeline. Respect the configured DAG -- type boundaries come from the `edges` table and from nothing else; honor every edge.
</NEVER>

<BODY-CONTENT>
Set body at creation: `lazyspec create <type> "<title>" --body "content"`. Change it later: `lazyspec update <ID> --body "content"`. Prefer `--body` over any direct file edit, for ALL stores (filesystem and github-issues alike).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add jkaloger/lazyspec/scaffold@sha256:349ce220611b3d33

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.f1f85b0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
