Scaffold Framework Addresses Claude Code Memory and Workflow Issues

What Scaffold Does

Scaffold is a framework built to address four specific pain points in Claude Code sessions: lack of persistent memory, inconsistent decision-making, high token usage, and unstructured workflows. The framework consists of 17 skills that operate automatically once installed.

Key Features and Commands

The framework provides several concrete features and commands:

• Persistent memory with Obsidian integration: The /preload command reads your full project knowledge base at session start, allowing sessions to resume instead of restarting from zero.
• Decision enforcement: The /decide command spawns research and debate agents, then logs the verdict permanently to prevent inconsistent architecture choices.
• Token optimization: A 3-tier model routing system uses Haiku for search tasks, Sonnet for code generation, and Opus for decision-making, resulting in approximately 75% token savings. This routing is always active with no configuration required.
• Workflow gates: The framework enforces hard gates between development phases, implements TDD (Test-Driven Development) enforcement, provides systematic debugging tools, and includes context recovery mechanisms.

Installation and Availability

Scaffold is available on GitHub at https://github.com/alexxenn/scaffold. To install, search for "scaffold" in the Claude Code plugins menu. The developer built this framework after experiencing a production database deletion by an AI agent, aiming to prevent similar incidents through structured workflow enforcement.
