At a glance

Forensically inspect and repair Composer browser profiles — offline (Chrome OPFS / SQLite extract) or live via /recovery.html debug port.

  • Works in 9 steps: Locate → Extract → Validate → …
  • Slow space open
  • SKILL.md covers When to use, Safety, Pipeline (always in this order) and Composer recovery mode (in-app), plus 6 more sections
  • Runs JavaScript and Python scripts from its folder; calls node, python3 and bash; reaches preview.composer.space

What it does

Composer Forensics is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Forensically inspect and repair Composer browser profiles — offline (Chrome OPFS / SQLite extract) or live via /recovery.html debug port. Use for data loss, corruption, slow space open, Automerge bloat, or when the app won't boot. Follow DOCTOR.md for live sessions: user opens debug port, agent explores, keeps a report, confirms before any data changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 40 other files, including scripts (for example `COMMANDS.md`, `DOCTOR.md` and `LINEAR-tagindex-write-amplification.md`).

It sits in Databases. It works with SQLite. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • Slow space open
  • Automerge bloat
  • The app wont boot

Example prompts

  • “/composer-forensics”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate
  2. Extract
  3. Validate
  4. Probe (JS — uses @dxos packages)
  5. Automerge — find largest doc
  6. Automerge — binary vs JSON size (perf debugging)
  7. Automerge — mutation analysis
  8. Automerge — escalate to maintainers
  9. Automerge — bench load

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0fc12a. 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

    Ships 10 files in scripts/ (JavaScript and Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • python3
    • bash
    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • preview.composer.space

    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

Composer Forensics loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 796 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 796 words (~3,141 tokens).

“Extract Composer client data from a live Chrome profile on disk, validate, and analyze offline — or diagnose and repair live via recovery mode.”
