Resolve or register Convex Name System (CNS) names. An agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex.
- The user wants to look up a CNS name
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does
Cns is an agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Resolve or register Convex Name System (CNS) names. Use when the user wants to look up a CNS name, register a new name, or update a name's target.
Its SKILL.md is about 140 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Convex Main Repository - Decentralised platform for the Internet of Value.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to look up a CNS name
- Register a new name
- Update a names target
Example prompts
- “/cns”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fec9b9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cns loads about 143 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 48 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 48 words (~143 tokens).
“This is the Codex discovery entry for the canonical shared skill at .claude/skills/cns/SKILL.md.”
