scaffold-init SKILL.md skillA
scaffold-init from ramboz/jig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ramboz/jig/scaffold-init@git:20261027.1ccd3cdPins git:20261027.1ccd3cd in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Initialize an AI-native development workspace with spec-driven workflow infrastructure. Use when starting a new project, setting up GitHub Copilot CLI on a codebase for the first time, or when the user says scaffold, initialize, set up AI workflow, onboard this repo, or similar. Do not use for adding an individual skill or config to an already- scaffolded project — that is handled by the relevant tier skill directly.
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
> **`$JIG_ROOT`** — jig's runtime root (this plugin's own directory).
> Copilot exposes no plugin-root environment variable, so jig's `SessionStart`
> hook publishes the value into session context. In a fresh shell, resolve it
> with the locator:
> `JIG_ROOT="$(for f in "${COPILOT_HOME:-$HOME/.copilot}"/installed-plugins/*/*/.github/scripts/jig_root.py; do [ -f "$f" ] && python3 "$f" && break; done)"`
> Spec 001 is fully implemented: greenfield-scaffold, doc-content, signal-detection,
> deferred-decisions, and Q&A wizard.
> See [docs/specs/001-scaffold-init/spec.md](../../docs/specs/001-scaffold-init/spec.md).
## What this skill does
Generates an AI-native development workspace by copying templates from
`$JIG_ROOT/templates/` into a target directory. Detects project
signals from the filesystem (LLM/agent files, CI, tests, team), runs an optional
Q&A flow to let the user override those signals, and selects tiers accordingly.
Tier 0 always installs; Tier 1 installs when test signals are present; Tier 2
is offered (not auto-installed) when LLM/agent signals are present.
## How to use
1. Determine the target directory. Default: the current working directory.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add ramboz/jig/scaffold-init@sha256:979b03e3844e654eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.1ccd3cd, 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.
