# GitNexus CLI Commands

All commands work via `npx` — no global install required.

## Commands

### analyze — Build or refresh the index

```bash
npx gitnexus analyze
```

Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to `.gitnexus/`, and generates AGENTS.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. |

**When to run:** First time in a project, after major code changes, or when `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context` reports the index is stale. In Codex, a PostToolUse hook runs `analyze` automatically after `git commit` and `git merge`, preserving embeddings if previously generated.

### status — Check index freshness

```bash
npx 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

```bash
npx 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.

| Flag | Effect |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `--force` | Skip confirmation prompt |
| `--all` | Clean all indexed repos, not just the current one |

### wiki — Generate documentation from the graph

```bash
npx gitnexus wiki
```

Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. Requires an API key (saved to `~/.gitnexus/config.json` on first use).

| Flag | Effect |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `--force` | Force full regeneration |
| `--model <model>` | LLM model (default: minimax/minimax-m2.5) |
| `--base-url <url>` | LLM API base URL |
| `--api-key <key>` | LLM API key |
| `--concurrency <n>` | Parallel LLM calls (default: 3) |
| `--gist` | Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist |

### list — Show all indexed repos

```bash
npx gitnexus list
```

Lists all repositories registered in `~/.gitnexus/registry.json`. The MCP `list_repos` tool provides the same information.

## After Indexing

1. **Read `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context`** to verify the index loaded
2. Use the other GitNexus skills (`exploring`, `debugging`, `impact-analysis`, `refactoring`) for your task

## Troubleshooting

- **"Not inside a git repository"**: Run from a directory inside a git repo
- **Index is stale after re-analyzing**: Restart Codex to reload the MCP server
- **Embeddings slow**: Omit `--embeddings` (it's off by default) or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for faster API-based embedding

# 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. gitnexus_query({query: "<error or symptom>"}) → Find related execution flows
2. gitnexus_context({name: "<suspect>"}) → See callers/callees/processes
3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} → Trace execution flow
4. gitnexus_cypher({query: "MATCH path..."}) → Custom traces if needed
```

> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.

## Checklist

```
- [ ] Understand the symptom (error message, unexpected behavior)
- [ ] gitnexus_query for error text or related code
- [ ] Identify the suspect function from returned processes
- [ ] gitnexus_context to see callers and callees
- [ ] Trace execution flow via process resource if applicable
- [ ] gitnexus_cypher for custom call chain traces if needed
- [ ] Read source files to confirm root cause
```

## Debugging Patterns

| Symptom | GitNexus Approach |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Error message | `gitnexus_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 |

## Tools

**gitnexus_query** — find code related to error:

```
gitnexus_query({query: "payment validation error"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException
```

**gitnexus_context** — full context for a suspect:

```
gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler
→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7)
```

**gitnexus_cypher** — custom call chain traces:

```cypher
MATCH path = (a)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}*1..2]->(b:Function {name: "validatePayment"})
RETURN [n IN nodes(path) | n.name] AS chain
```

## Example: "Payment endpoint returns 500 intermittently"

```
1. gitnexus_query({query: "payment error handling"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling
→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError

2. gitnexus_context({name: "validatePayment"})
→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)

3. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/process/CheckoutFlow
→ Step 3: validatePayment → calls fetchRates (external)

4. Root cause: fetchRates calls external API without proper timeout

# Exploring Codebases with GitNexus

## When to Use

- "How does authentication work?"
- "What's the project structure?"
- "Show me the main components"
- "Where is the database logic?"
- Understanding code you haven't seen before

## Workflow

```
1. READ gitnexus://repos → Discover indexed repos
2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/context → Codebase overview, check staleness
3. gitnexus_query({query: "<what you want to understand>"}) → Find related execution flows
4. gitnexus_context({name: "<symbol>"}) → Deep dive on specific symbol
5. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} → Trace full execution flow
```

> If step 2 says "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.

## Checklist

```
- [ ] READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/context
- [ ] gitnexus_query for the concept you want to understand
- [ ] Review returned processes (execution flows)
- [ ] gitnexus_context on key symbols for callers/callees
- [ ] READ process resource for full execution traces
- [ ] Read source files for implementation details
```

## Resources

| Resource | What you get |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `gitnexus://repo/{name}/context` | Stats, staleness warning (~150 tokens) |
| `gitnexus://repo/{name}/clusters` | All functional areas with cohesion scores (~300 tokens) |
| `gitnexus://repo/{name}/cluster/{name}` | Area members with file paths (~500 tokens) |
| `gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name}` | Step-by-step execution trace (~200 tokens) |

## Tools

**gitnexus_query** — find execution flows related to a concept:

```
gitnexus_query({query: "payment processing"})
→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, RefundFlow, WebhookHandler
→ Symbols grouped by flow with file locations
```

**gitnexus_context** — 360-degree view of a symbol:

```
gitnexus_context({name: "validateUser"})
→ Incoming calls: loginHandler, apiMiddleware
→ Outgoing calls: checkToken, getUserById
→ Processes: LoginFlow (step 2/5), TokenRefresh (step 1/3)
```

## Example: "How does payment processing work?"

```
1. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/context → 918 symbols, 45 processes
2. gitnexus_query({query: "payment processing"})
→ CheckoutFlow: processPayment → validateCard → chargeStripe
→ RefundFlow: initiateRefund → calculateRefund → processRefund
3. gitnexus_context({name: "processPayment"})
→ Incoming: checkoutHandler, webhookHandler
→ Outgoing: validateCard, chargeStripe, saveTransaction
4. Read src/payments/processor.ts for implementation details

# 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.
