SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Understanding an unfamiliar codebase is slow when you have to manually grep for symbols and piece together call chains. This Skill uses GitNexus's indexed code graph to answer questions like "How does authentication work?" or "What calls this function?" without reading every file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Concept-to-Flow Search: Query a concept like "payment processing" and get back the relevant execution flows (CheckoutFlow, RefundFlow) with their symbols and file locations. - 360-Degree Symbol Context: Inspect any symbol to see its incoming calls, outgoing calls, and which execution processes it participates in. - Execution Trace Reading: Read step-by-step process traces and functional clusters with cohesion scores to understand architecture. - Use Case: You join a new project and need to understand the auth flow. Query GitNexus for "authentication", review the LoginFlow process, inspect key symbols like validateUser, then read only the relevant source files. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to explain how a specific feature works in this repository using the GitNexus index, for example "How does payment processing work?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand an unfamiliar codebase quickly?

Start by reading the GitNexus repo context resource for an overview, then run gitnexus_query with the concept you want to understand. Review the returned execution flows, inspect key symbols with gitnexus_context, and read only the relevant source files.

How do I find what calls a function in a repository?

Use gitnexus_context with the symbol name to get a 360-degree view. It returns incoming calls (callers), outgoing calls (callees), and the execution processes the symbol participates in, with file locations.

What is GitNexus and how does code indexing work?

GitNexus is a code indexing tool that builds a graph of symbols, execution flows, and functional clusters for a repository. You create or refresh the index by running npx gitnexus analyze in the project directory.

Why does GitNexus say the index is stale?

The staleness warning appears when the indexed code graph no longer matches the current source files. Run npx gitnexus analyze in the terminal to rebuild the index before querying.

When should I read source files instead of using GitNexus?

GitNexus provides structure and relationships, not full implementations. After identifying relevant flows and symbols, read the actual source files for implementation details, edge-case logic, and exact code behavior.
