What it does

Inno Code Survey is an agent skill from OpenLAIR/dr-claw. Acquires missing code repositories for the selected idea (Phase A) and conducts comprehensive code survey mapping academic concepts to implementations (Phase B). Outputs acquiredcoderepos, updatedprepareres, and modelsurvey for downstream use by inno-implementation-plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `prompts/build_code_survey_query.md`, `prompts/build_repo_acquisition_query.md` and `references/code_survey_agent.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: A Super AI Lab with massive AI Doctors as Assistants. Best IDE for Research via AI Power.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Planning

Example prompts

  • “Use the inno-code-survey skill to acquire missing code repositories for the selected idea (Phase A) and conducts comprehensive code survey mapping…”
  • “/inno-code-survey”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Level 1 (Specific): Search for the exact mechanism name
  2. Level 2 (Broad): Strip context adjectives, search core technique
  3. Level 3 (Atomic): Search for 3 base mathematical operators

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d51b64e. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • git
    • curl
    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.github.com

    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

Inno Code Survey loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 831 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 831 words (~3,059 tokens).

“Merges _acquire_missing_repos, _update_prepare_res_with_new_repos, and _conduct_code_survey from run_infer_idea_ours.py (lines 639–828, 1038–1052) into a single two-phase skill.”
