What it does

Codebase Lenses is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Split any request into seven concern lenses (Structure, Execution, Data & State, UI/UX, Platform, Performance, Correctness) to see which skills a change needs; Change mode and Deep-dive mode. Use before any non-trivial change or plan, for "deep dive into X", "what does this touch", or when triage/planner/cartographer picks skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `lenses/1-structure.md`, `lenses/2-execution.md` and `lenses/3-data-state.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Infinite is a node-based audiovisual workstation — real-time GPU video compositing, procedural 3D geometry, modular synths, DSP, and VST3/AU plugin hosting.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve UI design

Example prompts

  • “deep dive into X”
  • “what does this touch”
  • “/codebase-lenses”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e82b19. 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

Codebase Lenses loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,556 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
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); 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 1,556 words (~3,052 tokens).

“Splits any Infinite request into seven concern lenses — Structure, Execution, Data & State, UI/UX, Platform, Performance, Correctness — each with its own numbered sub-lenses, anchors, trigger questions and owning skills, so a change or investigation is examined along every…”
