Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/tony363/superclaude --skill gitnexus-cli- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads gitnexus-cli automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
GitNexus CLI Commands
All commands work via npx — no global install required.
Commands
analyze — Build or refresh the index
npx gitnexus 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) |
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 runs analyze automatically after git commit and git merge, preserving embeddings if previously generated.
status — Check index freshness
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
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
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
npx gitnexus list
Lists all repositories registered in ~/.gitnexus/registry.json. The MCP list_repos tool provides the same information.
After Indexing
- Read
gitnexus://repo/{name}/contextto verify the index loaded - 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 Claude Code to reload the MCP server
- Embeddings slow: Omit
--embeddings(it's off by default) or setOPENAI_API_KEYfor faster API-based embedding
