SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps users quickly understand how unfamiliar parts of a codebase work by guiding discovery from high-level codebase context down to concrete execution flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Execution-flow discovery: Identify relevant processes for a concept (e.g., “auth flow”, “payment processing”) via gitnexus_query.
  • Symbol deep-dives: Use gitnexus_context to map incoming/outgoing calls and related processes for a specific symbol.
  • Full trace tracing: Read process resources to follow step-by-step execution for the selected flow.
  • Repo freshness handling: Detect stale indexes and instruct you to run npx gitnexus analyze when needed.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to explore the project’s authentication flow by reading the repo context, querying for auth-related execution flows, then deep-diving key symbols and tracing the full process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace execution flows in an unfamiliar codebase?

To trace execution flows, you query indexed repository context for relevant processes and deep-dive key symbols to map callers, callees, and step-by-step execution paths. This provides a structured map of how specific end-user request paths like authentication or payments operate.

What is the best way to navigate architecture and understand a large codebase?

Navigating codebase architecture involves discovering high-level context first, then querying for specific execution flows and tracing process resources. This method guides you from broad repository indexing down to concrete symbol deep-dives for complete architecture understanding.

How do I map incoming and outgoing calls for a specific code symbol?

Mapping incoming and outgoing calls for a specific symbol requires querying indexed context to retrieve related processes and end-to-end traces. This symbol deep-dive reveals the exact execution requirements and dependencies connected to the target function.

Do I need to index my repository before tracing execution paths?

Yes, you need an active indexed repository context to trace execution paths. If the index is stale, the system detects it and instructs you to run the analyze command to refresh the codebase data before querying flows.

Can I trace webhook handling processes step-by-step through the code?

Yes, you can trace webhook handling processes by querying for execution flows related to the concept and reading the process resources. This follows the step-by-step execution requirements and maps the full end-to-end request path.
