description	Deprecated compatibility alias for older /scaffold requests. Use /foundation instead when creating or auditing MAPS project foundations, portable path settings, or full MAPS framework/org scaffolds.

Scaffold

Versioning

Current version: 1.0.0.

Follow semantic versioning for this compatibility alias:

• Patch: wording or routing clarifications.
• Minor: added compatibility behavior.
• Major: changed alias contract.

Changelog

• 2026-06-20 - v1.0.0 - Deprecated /scaffold as an independent skill; Foundation now owns scaffold creation.

Deprecation

Do not run an independent /scaffold workflow.

When the user invokes /scaffold, route the request to /foundation and explain that Foundation now owns:

• M0 project foundation
• portable path layer inquiry and recording
• notes/source/memory/RAG scaffold
• Git, remote, env, and secrets readiness
• optional full MAPS framework/org repo structure formerly created by /scaffold

Use the Foundation resource scripts/create_maps_scaffold.py only through a Foundation run after target directory, project/framework name, and overwrite policy are clear.

Foundation Routing Rules

• Ask exactly one question at a time.
• Read project-foundation.md when it exists and use its persistent memory contract before routing.
• Route the request to /foundation and let Foundation handle durable artifacts, path settings, scaffolding, and memory updates.
• When Foundation creates or updates durable knowledge, Foundation should run maps_memory.py according to its own skill contract.
• Do not create a separate Scaffold run note or independent Scaffold artifact.

Done Criteria

• The user is routed to /foundation.
• No separate Scaffold-specific plan or artifact is produced.

Completion report

When a legacy /scaffold request is handled, report:

• Completion status: routed.
• Outcome: the request belongs to /foundation.
• Memory update: none from /scaffold; Foundation owns any maps_memory.py update.
• Next skill: /foundation.

Output

Create no independent Scaffold output.

Expected output is a handoff to /foundation, which may then create or update:

• project-foundation.md
• portable path settings
• notes/source/memory/RAG scaffold
• optional full MAPS framework/org repo structure
