AI Agent Project Scaffold
Stand up a new AI/agent project - or add an AI subsystem to an existing repo - starting from a requirements intake and ending in a committed full stack. Use when the user says "scaffold an agent project", "set up a new AI app", "bootstrap a RAG/agent repo", "add an agent to this codebase", "add an AI/LLM feature to our existing app"; when they ask for the stack for a specific system they intend to build ("get me a stack", "which stack should we use for this", "pick the stack for this agent", "what should we build it with") - as opposed to open-ended options questions, which go to ai-engineering; when they make ANY "build me an agent that does X" request, even a trivial-sounding one, because the intake may rightly conclude a plain script suffices; and when they hand over a vague AI build idea that needs shaping first, in which case it calls interview-me and idea-refine before selecting anything. Exits with a named component per slot - harness, framework, model provider, memory, retrieval, ingestion, tools, MCP servers, eval, frontend - then generates the skeleton and hands implementation to agent-skills.

From the source SKILL.md
Turns an AI build request into a grounded, hardened project skeleton - but only after the requirements are clear enough to choose a stack. The orchestrator (you) runs the intake; the ai-engineering map picks the components; the ai-engineer subagent does the heavy build; agent-skills enforce build discipline.
What this skill does
AI Agent Project Scaffold is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the frontend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ai-agent-project-scaffold/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user says "scaffold an agent project", "set up a new AI app", "bootstrap a RAG/agent repo", "add an agent to this codebase", "add an AI/LLM feature to our existing app"; when they ask for the stack for a specific system they intend to build ("get me a stack", "which stack should we use for this", "pick the stack for this agent", "what should we build it with") - as opposed to open-ended options questions, which go to ai-engineering; when they make ANY "build me an agent that does X" request, even a trivial-sounding one, because the intake may rightly conclude a plain script suffices; and when they hand over a vague AI build idea that needs shaping first, in which case it calls interview-me and idea-refine before selecting anything. Exits with a named component per slot - harness, framework, model provider, memory, retrieval, ingestion, tools, MCP servers, eval, frontend - then generates the skeleton and hands implementation to agent-skills.
Who uses this skill
The AI Agent Project Scaffold Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 191,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the AI Agent Project Scaffold skill?
Use AI Agent Project Scaffold when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the frontend area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use AI Agent Project Scaffold" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the AI Agent Project Scaffold skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. AI Agent Project Scaffold is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
