SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the full Scafforge kickoff flow to scaffold new repos, retrofit the OpenCode operating layer, pivot midstream changes, repair workflows, or diagnose ongoing work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified entrypoint that classifies run type (greenfield, retrofit, pivot, managed repair, or diagnosis) and routes to downstream skills automatically.
  • Batched decision handling and canonical brief generation to ensure traceability and predictable handoffs.
  • End-to-end scaffolding orchestration, including spec discovery, template generation, and handoff surface preparation.

Quick Start

Tell me to start scaffold-kickoff to kick off a full repo scaffold workflow across greenfield, retrofit, pivot, or diagnosis scenarios.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a full repo from a single entrypoint?

Scaffold a full repo by initiating a kickoff flow that classifies your run type, generates a canonical brief, and routes to downstream skills for template generation and handoff. It handles greenfield, retrofit, pivot, managed repair, and diagnosis scenarios.

Can I retrofit the OpenCode operating layer into an existing repository?

Yes, you can retrofit the OpenCode operating layer into an existing repository by triggering a retrofit run type. The kickoff flow classifies the scenario, applies batched decision handling, and automatically routes to the appropriate downstream skills for integration.

What is the best way to pivot midstream changes during repo scaffolding?

Pivoting midstream changes during repo scaffolding is handled by classifying the run as a pivot scenario. The orchestrator applies a batched decision protocol to ensure traceability and routes to downstream skills for predictable handoffs.

Does scaffold-kickoff work for diagnosing ongoing work in a repo?

Scaffold-kickoff works for diagnosing ongoing work by classifying the run as a diagnosis or review scenario. It enforces a batched decision protocol before handing control to downstream skills to repair workflows or assess the repository state.

Do I need any dependencies to start the repo scaffolding workflow?

No dependencies are required to start the repo scaffolding workflow. The skill operates independently as the single public entrypoint, applying a batched decision protocol and canonical brief generation before routing to downstream skills.

Why does the kickoff flow use a batched decision protocol before handing off?

The kickoff flow uses a batched decision protocol to ensure traceability and predictable handoffs to downstream skills. It classifies the run type and generates a canonical brief before routing, preventing unmanaged changes during repo scaffolding.
