What it does

New Compositing Node is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Procedure for adding a Compositing node (multi-input or frame-persistent image node: Blend, Layer Stack, Feedback, Trails, ...): the four wiring chains, BypassSource rule, ping-pong cooking, exit criterion. Use when implementing one, or when a new image node has no input pins, ignores a cable, or breaks when bypassed.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing one
  • A new image node has no input pins
  • Ignores a cable
  • Breaks when bypassed

Example prompts

  • “/new-compositing-node”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The trap that defines this family: four parallel chains
  2. The shape
  3. BypassSource() - every node here must override it
  4. Cooking with cross-frame state
  5. The wiring checklist
  6. Bug traps, each of which has already happened in this codebase
  7. Tests
  8. Exit criterion - state it machine-checkably in every prompt
  9. Prompt template for a fresh session

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 cpp and bash).

    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

New Compositing Node loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 1,084 words (~2,310 tokens).

“The standard procedure for adding a Compositing node to Infinite - an image node with more than one input, or with state that persists across frames (Blend, Layer Stack, Switcher, Feedback, Trails, Reaction Diffusion, Curves, Color Ramp, Fit, Null, Viewport)…”
