Writing Linux-safe Infinite code: three-sided Platform:: obligation, the container+Xvfb rig, what llvmpipe proves, Linux trap catalogue (fontconfig, dlopen, XDG, ALSA/PipeWire, AppImage glibc).

  • Works in 8 steps: The shape → Read these before writing code → The obligation is now three-sided → …
  • SKILL.md covers When to use (full scope), 0. The shape, 1. Read these before writing… and 2. The obligation is now…, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Linux Parity is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Writing Linux-safe Infinite code: three-sided Platform:: obligation, the container+Xvfb rig, what llvmpipe proves, Linux trap catalogue (fontconfig, dlopen, XDG, ALSA/PipeWire, AppImage glibc). Use before changing src/platform/ or adding a Platform:: function, on docs/plans/linux/ phases, or a works-on-macOS-not-Linux bug.

Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linux and macOS. 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

  • “/linux-parity”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The shape
  2. Read these before writing code
  3. The obligation is now three-sided
  4. The trap catalogue
  5. The rig: how to actually run it
  6. What CI and the rig actually prove
  7. Exit criterion
  8. Siblings

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 (its code samples are bash and cpp).

    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

Linux Parity loads about 5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,513 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k

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 2,513 words (~4,980 tokens).

“How to write code for Infinite that works on Linux — the three-sided obligation every Platform:: function now carries, the container+Xvfb rig that lets you actually execute Linux code instead of only reading it, what llvmpipe rendering does and does…”

How do I install Linux Parity in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add n1m21n/Infinite --skill linux-parity -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/linux-parity in n1m21n/Infinite) into .claude/skills/linux-parity in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Linux Parity in Codex?

Run `npx skills add n1m21n/Infinite --skill linux-parity -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/linux-parity in n1m21n/Infinite) into .agents/skills/linux-parity in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Linux Parity in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add n1m21n/Infinite --skill linux-parity -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/linux-parity, .gemini/skills/linux-parity, .github/skills/linux-parity and .opencode/skills/linux-parity in your project.

What does Linux Parity need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Linux Parity is instructions for the agent only.

Does Linux Parity access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Linux Parity safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Linux Parity use?

Linux Parity has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Linux Parity use?

About 5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 20k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
