majiayu000 Scaffold Rules
Scaffold shared development rules for AI coding agent environments.
When to Use
Use when the user wants to:
- Set up development rules or coding conventions
- Configure their AI coding agent environment
- Add project guidelines for Claude, Cursor, or other agents
Workflow
Step 1: Preview Changes (Optional)
bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules --dry-run
Review the actions array to see what will be created.
Step 2: Run Scaffold
bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules
This will:
- Write rules into
AGENTS.md(creates if missing, updates between markers if present) - Add
@AGENTS.mdreference toCLAUDE.mdif it exists without one
Step 3: Report to User
Tell the user what was created based on the actions output.
CLI Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--list, -l |
List available rules without scaffolding |
--dry-run, -n |
Preview actions without making changes |
How It Works
Rules are written directly into AGENTS.md between markers:
<!-- PLAITED-RULES-START -->
## Rules
(rule content inlined here)
<!-- PLAITED-RULES-END -->
- No AGENTS.md: Creates one with rules section
- AGENTS.md without markers: Appends rules section with markers
- AGENTS.md with markers: Replaces content between markers (preserves user content outside)
- CLAUDE.md exists: Adds
@AGENTS.mdreference if not already present
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Rules duplicated in AGENTS.md | Markers were manually deleted | Remove duplicate section, re-run scaffold-rules |
| Update didn't apply | Only one marker present (start or end) | Ensure both <!-- PLAITED-RULES-START --> and <!-- PLAITED-RULES-END --> exist, or delete both to get a fresh append |
@AGENTS.md not added to CLAUDE.md |
CLAUDE.md doesn't exist | Create CLAUDE.md first, then re-run |
Do not manually edit content between the PLAITED-RULES-START and PLAITED-RULES-END markers — it will be overwritten on next run.
