What it does

New Modulator Node is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Procedure for adding a Modulators/Macros node: IModulator contract, Value01() idempotency, multi-output, mod/performance-matrix visibility, unbind on delete, exit criterion. Use when implementing an LFO/random/pattern/macro node, or when a modulator freezes, runs at the wrong speed, jitters with fan-out, or leaves the matrix.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 an LFO/random/pattern/macro node
  • A modulator freezes
  • Runs at the wrong speed
  • Jitters with fan-out

Example prompts

  • “/new-modulator-node”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. The shape: a modulator is an INode that renders nothing
  2. Read these before writing code
  3. The idempotency rule - the trap unique to this family
  4. Multi-output modulators
  5. The wiring checklist
  6. Bug traps, each of which has already happened here
  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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Modulator Node loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,298 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
~2.7k

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 1,298 words (~2,675 tokens).

“The standard procedure for adding a Modulators/Macros node to Infinite - the IModulator contract, the idempotency rule that makes Value01() safe to call many times per frame, multi-output modulators, mod-matrix/performance-matrix visibility, unbinding on delete, and the machine-checkable exit criterion. Use…”
