What it does

Codebase Navigation is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. How to search Infinite completely: trace an interface to every implementer and hand-maintained registration site, check every platform path, use the hotspot map. Use at the start of ANY investigation, sweep or plan touching src/, before claiming "the code does X". Add new wiring hotspots to it.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k 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: Infinite is a node-based audiovisual workstation — real-time GPU video compositing, procedural 3D geometry, modular synths, DSP, and VST3/AU plugin hosting.

Example prompts

  • “the code does X”
  • “/codebase-navigation”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Never stop at the first match. A grep for a symbol tells you where
  2. Prefer reading a whole file over reading grep context lines once a
  3. State what you did NOT find, not just what you found. "No
  4. **When reporting to another agent (plan, implementation, review),

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f393709. 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 Navigation loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,978 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

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 1,978 words (~3,847 tokens).

“How to search Infinite's codebase efficiently and completely — trace an interface to every implementer and every hand-maintained registration site, not just the first grep hit; check both platform paths; check the living map of known connective-tissue hotspots below. Use…”
