CCF Project Scaffolder

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/skill-trigger-registry.yaml.

Treat private manuscripts, reviews, drafts, results, code, and project state as private user material. Do not browse with private text unless the user authorizes it or the shared privacy/evidence policy allows a safe transformed query.

Core Rule

Create structure and metadata only. Prefer the target venue guide index for template discovery, then initialize ccfa.yaml from assets/ccfa.yaml with explicit placeholders.

Inputs

Project name, target venue, output directory, template preference, and optional paper type.

Workflow

1. Identify quick or standard mode from the request, available artifacts, and deadline pressure.
2. Check ../ccf-common/references/skill-trigger-registry.yaml for ownership boundaries before absorbing adjacent work.
3. Read ccfa.yaml when it exists. If absent, continue with supplied artifacts and report that project-state tracking is unavailable.
4. Execute only this skill's owned task. Mark missing evidence, stale venue rules, missing files, or authorization gaps explicitly.
5. Produce the requested scaffold result and name the next owning skill when handoff is needed.

Quick And Standard Modes

• Quick mode: answer the narrow request with the minimum relevant checklist and a compact risk note.
• Standard mode: produce the full table/checklist, artifact-state notes, boundary checks, and handoff recommendations.

Adaptive Output Contract

If files were created or copied, report the directory tree, template paths, initialized ccfa.yaml, and next-step handoff. If the user only asks for a dry-run plan or install subset, return that requested shape instead. Do not force a full checklist for a small scaffold command.

Handoff

Handoff to ccf-pipeline-orchestrator for stage management, ccf-paper-writer for manuscript work, and ccf-submission-checker for build checks.

Forbidden

Do not invent title, abstract, claims, experiments, or citations unless the user explicitly supplies them.
