gitnexus-cli

Instructions for using GitNexus, a command-line tool that analyzes a code repository and builds an index of its structure and relationships. It can also generate context files and a wiki for the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze or re-index a repository, check its indexed status, clean the index, list indexed repositories, or generate repository documentation.
Why use it?
It gives the exact commands and recovery steps needed when the repository has not been indexed or its local runner is missing. This makes repository analysis repeatable across different package managers.

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 yesterday.

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.

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.cjs reports Cannot find module (the gitignored runner is absent — e.g. a fresh clone or git clean)? (Re)generate it with npx gitnexus analyze from the project root. On npm 11.x, if npx crashes during install (node.target is null), install once with npm i -g gitnexus (then gitnexus analyze) or use pnpm --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 TabularisDB/tabularis (4,583 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,128 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
