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.

Tips by platform

Claude

With Claude, drop this skill into Project knowledge so every chat in the project inherits it. Ask Claude to restate the goal first, then run — it catches edge cases early.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT responds well when you paste this skill and immediately give one concrete example of your input. Use a reasoning-capable model for multi-step work.

Cursor

In Cursor, lift the key instructions from this skill into .cursorrules or a SKILL.md file, then reference it in Agent mode with @ mentions. Keep the title in a comment so teammates can find it on OpenRuna.
