What Llm Api Scaffold is

Llm Api Scaffold is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Llm Api Scaffold gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Llm Api Scaffold

Claude Code

  1. Download llm-api-scaffold.md from the repository.
  2. Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
  3. Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
  2. In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

New to extending Cowork? Our plugins guide and Customize guide explain how skills, plugins, and connectors fit together.

Generate complete, production-ready LLM API integration code with error handling, rate limiting, caching, monitoring, and best practices built-in.

What You'll Get

When you run this command, you'll receive:

  1. Complete API client with retry logic and error handling
  2. Rate limiting (token bucket algorithm)
  3. Caching layer (in-memory + Redis)
  4. Cost tracking and monitoring
  5. Multi-provider support with fallback
  6. Streaming responses implementation
  7. Testing suite with mocks
  8. Docker deployment configuration

Usage

/llm-api-scaffold <provider> [options]

Providers: anthropic, openai, multi (both)

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
