vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw: Skill for Claude Code

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

gitnexus-guide is a skill for Claude Code from swt-labs/vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw. It costs 56 tokens per session (742 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitnexus-guide, MIT.

A quick reference for GitNexus, a tool that maps a codebase as a knowledge graph. It explains its tools, data sources, graph structure, and task-specific workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn how to query GitNexus, inspect code relationships, check index status, and follow the right workflow for codebase analysis.
Why use it?
It removes the need to discover GitNexus commands and workflows from scattered documentation. It also helps choose the right analysis for understanding, debugging, impact checks, or refactoring.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is swt-labs/vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw 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 vibe-better-with-claude-code-vbw configures →

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-guide 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 8d 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

92% identical to gitnexus-guide — 2 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitNexus Guide

Quick reference for all GitNexus MCP tools, resources, and the knowledge graph schema.

Always Start Here

For any task involving code understanding, debugging, impact analysis, or refactoring:

  1. Read gitnexus://repo/{name}/context — codebase overview + check index freshness
  2. Match your task to a skill below and read that skill file
  3. Follow the skill's workflow and checklist

If step 1 warns the index is stale, run npx gitnexus analyze in the terminal first.

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.
