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 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.00870 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00348 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00174 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00087 |
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to gitnexus-debugging — 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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. query({search_query: "<error or symptom>"}) → Find related execution flows
2. context({name: "<suspect>"}) → See callers/callees/processes
3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} → Trace execution flow
4. cypher({statement: "MATCH path..."}) → Custom traces if needed
If "Index is stale" → run
node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyzein terminal.
Checklist
- [ ] Understand the symptom (error message, unexpected behavior)
- [ ] query for error text or related code
- [ ] Identify the suspect function from returned processes
- [ ] context to see callers and callees
- [ ] Trace execution flow via process resource if applicable
- [ ] cypher for custom call chain traces if needed
- [ ] Read source files to confirm root cause
Debugging Patterns
| Symptom | GitNexus Approach |
|---|---|
| Error message | 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 |
| "How does A reach B?" | trace between the two symbols — shortest call chain in one call |
Tools
query — find code related to error:
query({search_query: "payment validation error"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException
context — full context for a suspect:
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-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository GrayCodeAI/starling (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 870 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-debugging, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

codegraph
Analyze indexed codebases via graph database (neug) and vector index (zvec). Covers call graphs, dependencies, dead code, hotspots, module coupling, architecture reports, semantic search, impact analysis, bug root cause from GitHub issues, class diagrams (UML), and PR review (risk scoring, conflict detection…
stuck
Diagnose frozen, stuck, or slow Qwen Code sessions on this machine. Scans for problematic processes, high CPU/memory usage, hung subprocesses, and debug logs. Use /stuck or /stuck to focus on a specific process.
structured-debugging
Hypothesis-driven debugging methodology for hard bugs. Use this skill whenever you're investigating non-trivial bugs, unexpected behavior, flaky tests, or tracing issues through complex systems. Activate proactively when debugging requires more than a quick glance — especially when the first attempt at a fix didn't…
test-failure-explorer
Import and query an existing Vitest 3.2 JSON report to explore test failures, file-level errors and original diagnostic evidence.
rust-check
Run cargo check on the current Rust project to find compile errors.
debug
Reproduce, minimize, localize, identify root cause, and distinguish diagnosis from an authorized fix. Prefer root-cause over symptom patches.
