Nub — Level-of-Detail Explorer

What it does

Nub provides a level-of-detail (LoD) exploration tool and workflow for very large text content: huge files, codebases with many files, JSONL logs, and documentation dumps. It compresses content while preserving structure so agents and humans can get meaningful overviews, scan for patterns, or zoom into sections progressively.

When to use it

Use Nub when standard read tools hit size limits (files >10K chars), when you need a survey of a large repository or data directory, or when navigating massive logs or JSONL datasets. Avoid for small single files or when exact uncompressed content is required.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected in repository (has_scripts=false)
• References: includes a jsonl.md guide in the skill folder describing JSONL exploration patterns
• Instructions: step-by-step workflow for recon (du/tree), shape selection (budgeted width:height), deduplication for code, grep-based topology, and progressive range navigation for very large files

Compatible agents

Designed for CLI and agentic code explorers (agents using Claude Code / CLI tools / Copilot-style integrations) that can run shell recon steps and handle progressive navigation.
