SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gitnexus.

What problem does it solve? Developers using GitNexus need a single reference for its MCP tools, resources, and graph schema before they can query a codebase knowledge graph effectively. This Skill provides that quick reference so you know which tool or resource to use for architecture exploration, impact analysis, debugging, or refactoring. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tool Reference: Documents the seven GitNexus MCP tools (query, context, impact, detect_changes, rename, cypher, list_repos) and what each returns. - Resource Navigation: Lists lightweight gitnexus:// resources for repo context, clusters, processes, and schema discovery. - Graph Schema & Cypher: Defines the node types (File, Function, Class, Method) and edge relations (CALLS, IMPORTS, EXTENDS) with example Cypher queries. - Use Case: When you ask "What GitNexus tools are available?" or "How do I trace what breaks if I change this function?", this Skill routes you to the right tool, resource, or sibling skill workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show which GitNexus tool to use for analyzing the impact of renaming a function in the indexed repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I query a codebase knowledge graph with GitNexus?

Start by reading the gitnexus://repo/{name}/context resource to check index freshness, then use the query tool for concept-based execution flows or the cypher tool for raw graph queries. Read the schema resource before writing Cypher.

What tools does the GitNexus MCP server provide?

GitNexus provides seven tools: query for process-grouped code intelligence, context for 360-degree symbol views, impact for blast radius analysis, detect_changes for git-diff impact, rename for coordinated renames, cypher for raw graph queries, and list_repos for discovering indexed repositories.

How do I analyze what breaks if I change a function?

Use the impact tool, which returns the symbol's blast radius at depths 1, 2, and 3 with confidence scores. For uncommitted changes, use detect_changes to see what your current git diff affects.

Does GitNexus require indexing before use?

Yes, the repository must be indexed first by running npx gitnexus analyze in the terminal. The context resource warns if the index is stale, in which case you should re-run the analysis.

What graph schema does GitNexus use for Cypher queries?

The graph contains File, Function, Class, Interface, Method, Community, and Process nodes connected by CodeRelation edges typed CALLS, IMPORTS, EXTENDS, IMPLEMENTS, DEFINES, MEMBER_OF, and STEP_IN_PROCESS.
