gitnexus-cli

A command-line tool for analyzing a code repository and building an index of its files, symbols, and relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps index or re-index a project, check its index status, remove the index, generate a project wiki, and list indexed repositories.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to search and understand a codebase, while showing whether its stored analysis is out of date.

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-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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to gitnexus-cli — 20 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitNexus CLI Commands

In this repo, run GitNexus through direnv exec . gitnexus ... from the repo root. The checked-in AGENTS guidance depends on the repo-local .envrc plus ignored .envrc.local embedding settings; do not use npx here.

Commands

analyze — Build or refresh the index

direnv exec . gitnexus analyze --embeddings --skip-agents-md

Run from the project root after the LM Studio embedding server is running. In a linked worktree, copy the ignored root .envrc.local into the worktree and run direnv allow first. This parses source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes ignored output to .gitnexus/, and leaves the checked-in AGENTS map as the repository source of truth.

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.

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.

status — Check index freshness

direnv exec . gitnexus status

Shows whether the current repo has a GitNexus index, when it was last updated, and symbol/relationship counts. Use this to check if re-indexing is needed.

clean — Delete the index

direnv exec . gitnexus clean

Deletes the .gitnexus/ directory and unregisters the repo from the global registry. Use before re-indexing if the index is corrupt or after removing GitNexus from a project.

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.
