mcp-memory-service: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/gitnexus-debugging/SKILL.md

gitnexus-debugging is a skill for Claude Code from doobidoo/mcp-memory-service. It costs 14 tokens per session (711 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitnexus-debugging, Apache-2.0.

A debugging guide that uses GitNexus to trace errors through the functions and processes that call one another. Debugging is the work of finding why software behaves incorrectly and locating the underlying cause.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate failures, unexpected behaviour, failing endpoints, or questions about who calls a method. It supports searching related code, examining callers and callees, and confirming the cause in source files.
Why use it?
It helps connect an error message or symptom to the code path that produced it. This makes it easier to distinguish the root cause from later effects.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is doobidoo/mcp-memory-service's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-memory-service itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-memory-service configures →

About the project

mcp-memory-service is a self-hosted memory backend that lets AI agents store and retrieve shared project context through REST, MCP, OAuth, a command-line interface, and a dashboard. It is intended for agent pipelines and clients such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude Desktop, and OpenCode, with support for knowledge graphs and memory consolidation. The catalogue includes skills, agents, commands, instructions, hooks, a setting, an MCP entry, and a plugin for its workflows.

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-debugging 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 1mo 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.

Debugging with GitNexus

When to Use

  • "Why is this function failing?"
  • "Trace where this error comes from"
  • "Who calls this method?"
  • "This endpoint returns 500"
  • Investigating bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior

Workflow

1. gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"})            → Find related execution flows
2. gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect>"})                    → See callers/callees/processes
3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name}                → Trace execution flow
4. gitnexus_cypher({query: "MATCH path..."})                 → Custom traces if needed

If "Index is stale" → run npx gitnexus analyze in terminal.

Checklist

- [ ] Understand the symptom (error message, unexpected behavior)
- [ ] gitnexus_query for error text or related code
- [ ] Identify the suspect function from returned processes
- [ ] gitnexus_context to see callers and callees
- [ ] Trace execution flow via process resource if applicable
- [ ] gitnexus_cypher for custom call chain traces if needed
- [ ] Read source files to confirm root cause

Debugging Patterns

Symptom GitNexus Approach
Error message gitnexus_query for error text → context on throw sites
Wrong return value context on the function → trace callees for data flow
Intermittent failure context → look for external calls, async deps
Performance issue context → find symbols with many callers (hot paths)
Recent regression detect_changes to see what your changes affect

Tools

gitnexus_query — find code related to error:

gitnexus_query({query: "payment validation error"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException

gitnexus_context — full context for a suspect:

gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler
→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7)

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.
