What gitnexus-guide does

The skill acts as an operational cheat sheet for GitNexus MCP servers. It guides the model through inspecting code relations using utilities like context for incoming or outgoing references, impact for blast radius evaluations, and trace for finding call chains between specific entities. Specialized tools such as explain and pdg_query depend on indexes created with the --pdg flag.

Stale indexes will mislead the agent during architectural exploration. Whenever the repository index state shows behind or diverged, running node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze in your terminal is necessary before trusting output from query or impact. The guide also prescribes using granular section filters like response_sections so responses remain compact and stay within token boundaries.

What it helps with

  • select appropriate GitNexus MCP tools for codebase queries
  • trim output payloads using response section filters
  • handle stale graph indexes during refactoring or debugging
  • trace call paths between two symbols in the codebase

Example prompts for the agent

  • List the available GitNexus tools and explain how to query caller functions.
  • How do I filter GitNexus query results to avoid truncating tokens?
  • What CLI command updates the GitNexus graph when status is behind?
