Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00712 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00356 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
gitnexus-exploring 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to gitnexus-exploring — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Exploring Codebases with GitNexus
When to Use
- "How does authentication work?"
- "What's the project structure?"
- "Show me the main components"
- "Where is the database logic?"
- Understanding code you haven't seen before
Workflow
1. READ gitnexus://repos → Discover indexed repos
2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/context → Codebase overview, check staleness
3. gitnexus_query({query: "<what you want to understand>"}) → Find related execution flows
4. gitnexus_context({name: "<symbol>"}) → Deep dive on specific symbol
5. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} → Trace full execution flow
If step 2 says "Index is stale" → run
npx gitnexus analyzein terminal.
Checklist
- [ ] READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/context
- [ ] gitnexus_query for the concept you want to understand
- [ ] Review returned processes (execution flows)
- [ ] gitnexus_context on key symbols for callers/callees
- [ ] READ process resource for full execution traces
- [ ] Read source files for implementation details
Resources
| Resource | What you get |
|---|---|
gitnexus://repo/{name}/context |
Stats, staleness warning (~150 tokens) |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/clusters |
All functional areas with cohesion scores (~300 tokens) |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/cluster/{name} |
Area members with file paths (~500 tokens) |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} |
Step-by-step execution trace (~200 tokens) |
Tools
gitnexus_query — find execution flows related to a concept:
gitnexus_query({query: "payment processing"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, RefundFlow, WebhookHandler
→ Symbols grouped by flow with file locations
gitnexus_context — 360-degree view of a symbol:
gitnexus_context({name: "validateUser"})
→ Incoming calls: loginHandler, apiMiddleware
→ Outgoing calls: checkToken, getUserById
→ Processes: LoginFlow (step 2/5), TokenRefresh (step 1/3)
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

gitnexus-exploring is a skill published in the GitHub repository dalmasonto/umbral (11 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 712 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to gitnexus-exploring, differing in 22 lines, and is treated as a copy.
