What it does
Prior Art Scout is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Find publicly documented solutions (peer repos, GitHub, forums) to bugs, platform quirks, dependency gotchas or architectural patterns, respecting the copyleft discussions-only rule. Use before Linux/platform, VST3/audio-hosting or packaging work, or when a bug's root cause is outside Infinite's code.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `peers.md`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property, Regulatory compliance and Root cause analysis. It works with GitHub, Linux and Model Context Protocol. 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 Intellectual property
- Tasks that involve Regulatory compliance
- Tasks that involve Root cause analysis
Example prompts
- “s root cause is outside Infinite”
- “/prior-art-scout”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Fingerprint the problem in four categories
- Search peers first, then global. Use peers.md repos by domain, then global search. Use at least 3 channels before concluding.
- Verify every candidate. Open the issue, PR, or commit, and read the thread, plus the diff if the repo is permissive (for copyleft repos…
- Map to Infinite: For each solid match, specify the target file and line in Infinite where the lesson applies, and what would be changed…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7ffe5. 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:
gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Prior Art Scout loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 569 words (~1,254 tokens).
“Finds publicly documented solutions to bugs, platform quirks, dependency gotchas, or architectural patterns across curated peer repositories (and global GitHub/web). Use before implementing Linux/platform features, VST3/audio hosting, packaging, or whenever a bug's root cause is outside Infinite's own codebase.”
