Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/tony363/superclaude --skill gitnexus-exploring- 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-exploring automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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 analyzein 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
