mcp-memory-service: Skill for Claude Code

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

gitnexus-exploring is a skill for Claude Code from doobidoo/mcp-memory-service. It costs 16 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for exploring an unfamiliar codebase through GitNexus, a tool that maps relationships between code elements and execution flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate authentication, project structure, database logic, components, callers, callees, and full execution paths.
Why use it?
It helps you find how a feature works and where related code lives without searching through files blindly.

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-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 2mo 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.

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 analyze in 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)

Example: "How does payment processing work?"

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.
