What it does

Scaffold is an agent skill from ambient-code/platform. Generate the complete file set for a new integration, endpoint, or feature flag following established project patterns. Use when adding a new integration (like Jira, CodeRabbit, Google Drive), creating a new API endpoint with full stack, or setting up a new feature flag. Triggers on: "new integration", "add an integration", "scaffold", "create endpoint", "add a new provider", "wire up a new service". Always includes a feature flag. Follows the Jira integration pattern.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Third-party API integration, Project scaffolding and REST APIs. It works with Jira and Google Drive. The repository describes itself as: Vision/Mission https://ambient-code.ai : Virtual team management and collaboration platform. User guides: https://ambient-code.github.io/platform/. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Adding a new integration (like Jira
Creating a new API endpoint with full stack
Setting up a new feature flag
: new integration

Example prompts

“new integration”
“add an integration”
“scaffold”
“/scaffold”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57e8af8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash, go and typescript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Scaffold loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from ambient-code/platform at commit 57e8af8, republished under its MIT licence (© ambient-code). 312 words, ~1,252 tokens.

Scaffold

Generate the complete file set for a new integration, endpoint, or feature flag.

Usage

bash

/scaffold integration <name>    # Full integration scaffold
/scaffold endpoint <name>       # API endpoint scaffold
/scaffold feature-flag <name>   # Feature flag scaffold (delegates to /unleash-flag)

User Input

text

$ARGUMENTS

Parse the scaffold type and name from $ARGUMENTS. If ambiguous, ask the user.

Integration Scaffold

Based on the established integration pattern (Jira, CodeRabbit, Google Drive), generate the full file set.

Backend Files

File	Purpose	Template
`components/backend/handlers/{provider}_auth.go`	Auth handlers + K8s Secret CRUD	Follow `jira_auth.go` pattern
`components/backend/handlers/integration_validation.go`	Add validation + test endpoint	Add `Validate{Provider}` function
`components/backend/handlers/integrations_status.go`	Add to unified status	Add provider to status aggregation
`components/backend/handlers/runtime_credentials.go`	Session credential fetch with RBAC	Add `fetch{Provider}Credentials`
`components/backend/routes.go`	Register endpoints	Add route group with auth middleware

Frontend Files

File	Purpose	Template
`components/frontend/src/components/integrations/{provider}-connection-card.tsx`	Integration card UI	Follow existing integration card (e.g., Jira)
`components/frontend/src/services/api/{provider}-auth.ts`	API client	Follow existing auth service pattern
`components/frontend/src/services/queries/use-{provider}.ts`	React Query hooks	Follow existing query hook pattern
`components/frontend/src/app/api/auth/{provider}/route.ts`	Next.js proxy route	Follow existing auth proxy
`components/frontend/src/components/integrations/IntegrationsClient.tsx`	Add card import	Update imports + render
`components/frontend/src/components/integrations/integrations-panel.tsx`	Add to panel	Update panel

Note: Before scaffolding, verify the reference files exist by checking components/frontend/src/components/integrations/ and components/frontend/src/services/. File names may differ from examples above.

Runner Files

File	Purpose	Template
`components/runners/ambient-runner/src/auth.py`	Add `fetch_{provider}_credentials()`	Follow `fetch_jira_credentials` pattern

Feature Flag

File	Purpose
`components/manifests/base/core/flags.json`	Add `integration.{provider}.enabled`

Checklist

After scaffolding, verify:

All backend handlers use GetK8sClientsForRequest for user operations
Credentials stored in K8s Secret with OwnerReferences
Frontend uses React Query hooks (no manual fetch)
Frontend uses Shadcn UI components
Feature flag gates the integration card
Tests mock the feature flag hook
Runner credential fetch is added to populate_runtime_credentials()

Endpoint Scaffold

For adding a new API endpoint with full-stack support.

Files to Create/Modify

Layer	File	Action
Backend handler	`components/backend/handlers/{resource}.go`	Create
Backend routes	`components/backend/routes.go`	Add routes
Backend types	`components/backend/types/{resource}.go`	Create if needed
Frontend API	`components/frontend/src/services/api/{resource}.ts`	Create
Frontend queries	`components/frontend/src/services/queries/{resource}.ts`	Create
Frontend proxy	`components/frontend/src/app/api/{resource}/route.ts`	Create

Backend Handler Template

func List{Resource}(c *gin.Context) {
    projectName := c.Param("projectName")

    reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
    if reqK8s == nil || reqDyn == nil {
        c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"error": "Invalid or missing token"})
        return
    }

    // RBAC check
    // List operation with reqDyn
    // Return response
}

Frontend Query Template

typescript

export function use{Resource}(projectName: string) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ["{resource}", projectName],
    queryFn: () => {resource}Api.list(projectName),
  })
}

Feature Flag Scaffold

Delegates to the /unleash-flag skill for the full feature flag workflow.

Run /unleash-flag with the flag name and follow its checklist.
