SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gitnexus.

What problem does it solve? Managing a GitNexus code knowledge graph requires knowing the right CLI commands and flags for indexing, freshness checks, cleanup, and documentation generation, which this Skill consolidates into one reference. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Index Management: Build or refresh the repository knowledge graph with npx gitnexus analyze, including optional embedding generation for semantic search. - Status and Cleanup: Check index freshness with status, list all indexed repos with list, and remove corrupt or stale indexes with clean. - Wiki Generation: Generate LLM-based repository documentation from the knowledge graph with configurable model, concurrency, and optional GitHub Gist publishing. - Use Case: After a major refactor, run npx gitnexus analyze --force to rebuild the index, then verify with status before using the exploring or impact-analysis skills. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to index this repository with GitNexus and then check whether the index is up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitnexus-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I index a repository with GitNexus?▼

Run npx gitnexus analyze from the project root. It parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph into .gitnexus/, and generates CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md context files. Use --force for a full re-index.

How do I check if my GitNexus index is stale?▼

Run npx gitnexus status to see when the index was last updated along with symbol and relationship counts. In Claude Code, a PostToolUse hook also detects staleness after git commit or merge and notifies the agent.

Does GitNexus require a global installation?▼

No, all GitNexus commands work via npx with no global install required. You run commands like npx gitnexus analyze or npx gitnexus status directly from the project root.

How do I generate a wiki from my codebase with GitNexus?▼

Run npx gitnexus wiki, which generates documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. It requires an API key saved to ~/.gitnexus/config.json, and supports --model, --concurrency, and --gist flags.

Why does GitNexus say the index is stale after re-analyzing?▼

The MCP server caches the loaded index, so you need to restart Claude Code to reload it after re-analyzing. The new index on disk is correct; only the in-memory view is outdated.

How do I delete a corrupt GitNexus index?▼

Run npx gitnexus clean to delete the .gitnexus/ directory and unregister the repo from the global registry. Use --force to skip the confirmation prompt or --all to clean every indexed repo.
