SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Understanding an unfamiliar codebase is slow and error-prone when done by manually reading files. This Skill answers questions like "How does authentication work?" or "What calls this function?" by querying a GitNexus code graph of indexed symbols, execution flows, and functional clusters instead of guessing from raw source. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Index freshness verification: Compares the indexed commit against git rev-parse HEAD before querying, so answers are not based on code that no longer exists. - Concept-to-flow discovery: Uses gitnexus_query to find execution flows (e.g., CheckoutFlow, LoginFlow) related to any concept you ask about. - 360-degree symbol inspection: Uses gitnexus_context to show incoming calls, outgoing calls, and process membership for any symbol. - Use Case: You join a project and need to understand payment processing. The Skill checks index freshness, queries for "payment processing", traces CheckoutFlow step by step, then points you to the exact source files for implementation details. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to explain how a specific feature works in this repository, for example "How does the authentication flow work?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand how a feature works in an unfamiliar codebase?

Query the GitNexus index with a concept like "payment processing" to get related execution flows, then inspect key symbols with gitnexus_context to see callers and callees. Finally read the referenced source files for implementation details.

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

Run gitnexus_context with the function name to get a 360-degree view listing incoming calls, outgoing calls, and the execution processes the symbol participates in, along with file locations.

Why does GitNexus return outdated or wrong results about my code?

The index is stale when the indexed commit differs from git rev-parse HEAD, so the graph describes code that no longer exists. Run npx gitnexus status first and re-index with npx gitnexus analyze if the commits do not match.

Can I rely on the gitnexus status exit code in automation scripts?

No. npx gitnexus status exits 0 in every case, including a stale index or an unindexed repository. Parse the stdout output and compare the indexed commit to HEAD instead of branching on the exit code.

What resources does GitNexus provide for exploring code structure?

It exposes context (stats and staleness warnings), clusters (functional areas with cohesion scores), cluster members with file paths, and process resources with step-by-step execution traces, each costing roughly 150 to 500 tokens.
