gitnexus-cli

gitnexus-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beettlle/pi-spine. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,088 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitnexus-cli, MIT.

A set of instructions for using GitNexus, a command-line tool that analyzes source code and builds an index and knowledge graph of a repository. It can also generate context files such as `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for analyzing or reanalyzing a repository, checking index status, cleaning the index, generating a wiki, and listing indexed repositories.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a consistent way to refresh repository analysis, inspect indexed projects, and remove stale index data. This reduces the need to infer code relationships from separate files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gitnexus-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitNexus CLI Commands

Commands below use node .gitnexus/run.cjs <command> — the project-local runner gitnexus analyze drops next to the index. It auto-selects an available runner at call time (global gitnexus, else pnpm dlx, else npx), so no package-manager assumption and no global install is required.

Not analyzed yet, or node .gitnexus/run.cjs reports Cannot find module (the gitignored runner is absent — e.g. a fresh clone or git clean)? (Re)generate it with npx gitnexus analyze from the project root. On npm 11.x, if npx crashes during install (node.target is null), install once with npm i -g gitnexus (then gitnexus analyze) or use pnpm --allow-build=@ladybugdb/core --allow-build=gitnexus --allow-build=tree-sitter dlx gitnexus@latest analyze. See #1939.

Commands

analyze — Build or refresh the index

node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze

Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to .gitnexus/, and generates CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md context files.

Flag Effect
--force Force full re-index even if up to date
--embeddings Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default)
--drop-embeddings Drop existing embeddings on rebuild. By default, an analyze without --embeddings preserves them.

When to run: First time in a project, after major code changes, or when gitnexus://repo/{name}/context reports the index is stale. In Claude Code, a PostToolUse hook detects staleness after git commit and git merge and notifies the agent to run analyze — the hook does not run analyze itself, to avoid blocking the agent for up to 120s and risking KuzuDB corruption on timeout.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
