Skill for agents to convert papers into runnable starter code

Bridge the gap from research paper to first commit.

Upload any CS, blockchain, cryptography, or ML paper. Scaffold extracts protocol steps, dependencies, pseudocode, and gives you a clean implementation roadmap with starter scaffold in your language.

Core Contribution Protocol Steps Dependency Map Pseudocode Starter Scaffold Implementation Roadmap Risk & Validation

1. Upload paper

Give Scaffold a PDF or paper text. It reads it as a builder, not a summarizer.

2. Pick language

Python, Rust, Solidity, TypeScript, Go or your preferred stack.

3. Build faster

Get protocol decomposition, pseudocode, dependency map, and executable starter skeleton.

Live walkthrough

See Scaffold in action

From uploading a paper to receiving a complete implementation scaffold in one guided flow.

No prompt needed: add PDF -> run /scaffold -> done.
