Scaffolding automates boilerplate setup for Claude Code extensions. Copy the relevant template—agent-template.md, skill-template.md, command-template.md, or hook-script template—update the name and metadata, then customize for your use case. This reduces manual setup and ensures compliance with YAML frontmatter and naming conventions.

Templates cover agents, skills, commands, and hook scripts. Each includes starter YAML frontmatter, asset structure, and clear naming patterns aligned with official documentation. Templates serve as reference implementations for creating new extensions.

Templates include pre-formatted YAML frontmatter, so you can copy and adapt existing patterns without writing YAML from scratch. Understanding the basic structure helps, but templates guide you through the required fields and syntax.

Templates provide built-in guidance for testing and validation. Follow the quick-start workflow after copying a template: verify YAML frontmatter structure, check asset placement in assets/, confirm naming conventions match the template pattern, then test your extension.

Yes. Templates are designed for customization. Clone a template matching your extension type, update the name, focus areas, and implementation details, then add custom logic. Templates establish the structure; you fill in domain-specific content.
