SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Understanding a large or unfamiliar codebase's architecture is slow when done by reading files one by one. This Skill indexes any git repository into a knowledge graph of symbols, call chains, and clusters, then serves an interactive web UI so you can visually explore the code structure and share it with others through a Cloudflare tunnel. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Codebase Knowledge Graph Indexing: Runs npx gitnexus analyze on any git repository to build a graph of symbols, call chains, and execution flows, with optional embeddings for semantic search. - Interactive Web UI with Proxy: Serves the production GitNexus web UI through a zero-dependency Node.js proxy that forwards /api/* requests to the GitNexus backend on a single port, avoiding CORS issues. - Remote Sharing via Cloudflare Tunnel: Exposes the explorer through a cloudflared quick tunnel so teammates can browse the graph from a public URL. - Use Case: You inherit a 2,000-file repository and need to understand its module dependencies before a refactor. Index it, start the proxy, and explore call chains and clusters visually in the browser, then share the tunnel URL with your team. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to index this repository with GitNexus and start the web UI so I can explore its knowledge graph in my browser.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitnexus-explorer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize a codebase as a knowledge graph?▼

Run npx gitnexus analyze inside a git repository to build an index of symbols, call chains, and clusters, then start npx gitnexus serve and the proxy script to open the interactive web UI in a browser.

How to share a local code explorer web UI with remote teammates?▼

Start the GitNexus proxy on a local port, then run cloudflared tunnel with --config /dev/null pointing at that port. Cloudflare prints a public trycloudflare.com URL that anyone with the link can open.

What is the maximum repository size for the GitNexus web UI?▼

Repositories under roughly 5,000 files render well in the browser. Repos with 30,000 or more nodes will be sluggish or crash the browser tab, though the CLI and MCP tools work at any scale.

Why does cloudflared return 404 for my quick tunnel?▼

An existing named tunnel config at ~/.cloudflared/config.yml has a catch-all ingress rule that intercepts quick tunnel requests. Pass --config /dev/null to cloudflared so it ignores that config.

Does GitNexus support semantic search over code?▼

Yes, pass --embeddings to npx gitnexus analyze to enable semantic search and natural language queries in the AI chat panel. It takes minutes on large repos, so skip it for quick structural exploration.
