Generate a reproducible, runnable PyTorch training repo for a medical-imaging task — segmentation, classification, detection, image-to-image synthesis, self-supervised pretraining, or fine-tuning a pretrained backbone (transfer learning) — the missing middle link between choosing an architecture and validating a trained model. Emits a patient-level seed-locked split as an auditable artifact, a task-appropriate model, train and evaluate scripts that seed every RNG and infer under eval mode, a config, requirements, a reproducibility record, and a Methods stub with VERIFY placeholders (no fabricated numbers). Fine-tuning mode adds a frozen-then-unfrozen schedule, discriminative learning rates, and a pretrained-weight provenance record. The reproducibility guarantees hold by construction, so the build is leakage-safe before any training runs. Integrates with MONAI, nnU-Net, TorchIO, timm, and torchvision — it does not reimplement them.
Model Scaffold includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section); pricing or quota commentary; at least one code block. The SKILL.md runs to about 1,029 words, in the catalog's typical mid-range.
Model Scaffold sits in the Engineering category under the ml-ai-eng sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

What this skill does
Model Scaffold is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ml-ai-eng sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/model-scaffold/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Model 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 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/model-scaffold/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/model-scaffold/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\model-scaffold\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Model Scaffold skill?
Use Model Scaffold when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the ml ai eng 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 Model 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 Model 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. Model 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/.
