Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 5.1 | $0.00059 | $0.01128 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00451 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00226 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00113 |
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 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to gitnexus-cli — 0 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 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.cjsreportsCannot find module(the gitignored runner is absent — e.g. a fresh clone orgit clean)? (Re)generate it withnpx gitnexus analyzefrom the project root. On npm 11.x, ifnpxcrashes during install (node.target is null), install once withnpm i -g gitnexus(thengitnexus analyze) or usepnpm --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. |
--pdg |
Build the program-dependence layers used by explain and pdg_query (taint, CDG, and REACHING_DEF). |
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.
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-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository GrayCodeAI/starling (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,128 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to gitnexus-cli, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

gh-find-prs
Survey open Codewhale PRs and triage each for mergeability and disposition against the real landing branch.
review
Diff-scoped correctness review that reads the codebase around the change — callers, contracts, and invariants — and returns line-anchored findings ranked by severity with confidence, then a merge-risk verdict. Use for reviewing a PR, diff, or named change set. Not for style review, approvals-as-rubber-stamp, or…
find-simplifications
Use for a periodic repo-wide sweep of qwen-code for accumulated excess surface — dead components and files, orphaned locale keys, exports nothing consumes, added-then-removed scaffolding — filing candidates on a tracking issue and landing only what a maintainer has said yes to. Repo-wide and evidence-first; every…
crit-story
Author a crit story and continue the interactive review loop only when the user explicitly invokes crit-story or directly asks you to generate a crit story. Do not infer this skill from generic review, PR, or diff-review requests.
re0-merge
Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing. Use when reviewing a pull request, as any collaborator or maintainer, not only the…
