Scaffold Generator

AI Code Toolkit

This repo provides:

• project and feature scaffolding via templates
• file-level design guidance before edits
• rule-based review after edits
• design-system discovery for frontend work

Quick Start

Requirements:

• Node.js >= 18
• an MCP-compatible agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI

1. Initialize a Workspace

# Existing project
npx @agiflowai/aicode-toolkit init

# New project
npx @agiflowai/aicode-toolkit init --name my-app --project-type monolith

This creates templates/ and .toolkit/settings.yaml. Projects reference templates through sourceTemplate in project.json or .toolkit/settings.yaml.

2. Configure MCP

init can configure MCP automatically. For manual setup, add the servers you need to your agent config.

Example for Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scaffold-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agiflowai/scaffold-mcp", "mcp-serve", "--admin-enable"]
    },
    "architect-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "@agiflowai/architect-mcp", "mcp-serve",
        "--admin-enable",
        "--design-pattern-tool", "codex",
        "--review-tool", "gemini-cli"
      ]
    },
    "style-system": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agiflowai/style-system", "mcp-serve"]
    }
  }
}

Useful flags:

• --admin-enable: enable admin/template-authoring tools
• --design-pattern-tool <tool>: use an LLM to filter design patterns
• --review-tool <tool>: use an LLM for review output

3. Verify

Ask the agent:

What boilerplates are available?

It should call list-boilerplates. If not, restart the agent.

scaffold-mcp

Generates projects and feature boilerplate from templates.

Core tools:

• list-boilerplates
• use-boilerplate
• list-scaffolding-methods
• use-scaffold-method

Admin tools:

• generate-boilerplate
• generate-feature-scaffold
• generate-boilerplate-file

architect-mcp

Provides file-specific patterns before edits and reviews changes against RULES.yaml.

Core tools:

• get-file-design-pattern
• review-code-change

Admin tools:

• add-design-pattern
• add-rule

style-system

Provides theme, CSS class, and component discovery tools.

Core tools:

• list_themes
• get_css_classes
• get_component_visual
• list_shared_components
• list_app_components

one-mcp

Provides progressive tool discovery to reduce MCP prompt overhead.

Typical Workflow

Create a Project

User: "Create a Next.js app called dashboard"

Agent:
1. list-boilerplates
2. use-boilerplate
3. Project is generated

Add a Feature

User: "Add a products API route"

Agent:
1. list-scaffolding-methods
2. use-scaffold-method
3. Feature files are generated

Edit a File Safely

User: "Add a products page"

Agent:
1. get-file-design-pattern
2. edit the file using the returned patterns and rules
3. review-code-change
4. fix any violations

Style a Component

User: "Style the button with our theme colors"

Agent:
1. get_css_classes
2. list_shared_components
3. update the component
4. get_component_visual

Template Structure

    ├── RULES.yaml
    └── boilerplate/

scaffold.yaml

Defines boilerplates and feature scaffolds.

boilerplates:
  - name: nextjs-15-app
    description: "Next.js 15 with App Router"
    targetFolder: apps
    includes:
      - boilerplate/**/*

features:
  - name: add-route
    description: "Add route with page and layout"
    variables_schema:
      name: { type: string, required: true }
    includes:
      - features/route/**/*

architect.yaml

Defines file-level patterns that should be shown before edits.

patterns:
  - name: server-component
    description: "Default for page components"
    file_patterns:
      - "**/app/**/page.tsx"
    description: |
      - Use async/await for data fetching
      - Keep components focused on rendering
      - Move business logic to server actions

RULES.yaml

Defines review rules. Rules can be inherited from a global templates/RULES.yaml.

version: '1.0'
template: typescript-lib
rules:
  - pattern: src/services/**/*.ts
    description: Service Layer Implementation Standards
    must_do:
      - rule: Create class-based services with single responsibility
        codeExample: |-
          export class DataProcessorService {
            async processData(input: string): Promise<ProcessedData> {
              // Implementation
            }
          }
      - rule: Use dependency injection for composability
    must_not_do:
      - rule: Create static-only utility classes - use functions
        codeExample: |-
          // ❌ BAD
          export class Utils {
            static format(s: string) {}
          }

          // ✅ GOOD
          export function format(s: string): string {}

Project Types

Monorepo

Each project references its template in project.json.

my-workspace/
├── apps/
│   └── web-app/
│       └── project.json
├── packages/
│   └── shared-lib/
│       └── project.json
└── templates/

Monolith

Monoliths use .toolkit/settings.yaml.

version: "1.0"
projectType: monolith
sourceTemplate: nextjs-15

Included templates:

Template	Stack	Includes
nextjs-drizzle	Next.js 15, App Router	TypeScript, Tailwind 4, Drizzle, Storybook

Custom Templates

For template authoring, start from an existing repo or template and use the admin prompts:
