Project-aware file generation. Reads existing codebase conventions (naming, structure, imports, exports, test patterns) then generates new files that match exactly. Wires generated files into the project's registration points.

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

# /scaffold — Project-Aware File Generator

## Orientation

**Use when:** Creating a new component, module, service, route, hook, domain, or utility with existing examples in the project.

**Do NOT use when:** The file has no precedent (use `/marshal` for unconstrained generation), you're modifying existing files (use `/refactor`), or the project has no conventions yet.

**Needs:** target type, name, and optional description.

## Protocol

### Step 1: IDENTIFY THE TARGET

Parse the user's request into:
- **type**: component | module | service | route | hook | domain | utility | custom
- **name**: the name the user gave (e.g., "UserProfile", "auth-service", "settings route")
- **description**: what it does, if provided (otherwise leave blank for now)

If the type is ambiguous, ask ONE clarifying question. Do not ask more than one.

### Step 2: FIND EXEMPLARS

Search the codebase for 2-3 existing files of the same type.

**Search strategy by type:**

| Type | Search Pattern | What to Look For |
|---|---|---|
| component | `**/*.tsx` in the same directory or sibling directories | Functional components with similar complexity |
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/scaffold@sha256:244d2a56c8099663

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.0f3f8e7, 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.
