Generate boilerplate for a modding scenario

mc_scaffold

Generate code snippets or config files for Minecraft modding by specifying scaffold kind, Minecraft era, mod loader, and mod ID.

Instructions

Emits a code snippet (or config file body) for a given scenario, era, and loader. Run mc_list_scaffolds first to see valid kind values. Loader is forced to 'forge' for 1.8.9.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
kindYesScaffold id (e.g. 'mod_main', 'metadata', 'event_handler')
eraYes
loaderYesMod loader. Must be 'forge' for 1.8.9; pick neoforge or fabric for 1.21+.
modIdYesLowercase mod id, e.g. 'examplemod'
modNameNoHuman-friendly mod name; defaults to modId
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It discloses loader forcing and output type (snippet/config), but does not mention side effects, permissions, or error scenarios. Adequate but not exhaustive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two succinct sentences: first states purpose, second provides prerequisite and constraint. No fluff, front-loaded with key information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers main behavior and constraints. Could specify output format (string) more explicitly, but mostly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 5 parameters. Description adds value by explaining the prerequisite for 'kind' and the loader constraint, going beyond schema details.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the tool emits a code snippet/config for a scenario, era, and loader. This distinguishes it from siblings like mc_list_scaffolds, which is mentioned as a prerequisite.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly instructs to run mc_list_scaffolds first and notes loader constraint for 1.8.9, providing when and how to use. Could additionally state when not to use, but still clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
