# GitNexus — Code Intelligence This project is indexed by GitNexus as **qinglong** (2740 symbols, 6583 relationships, 230 execution flows). Use the GitNexus MCP tools to understand code, assess impact, and navigate safely. > Index stale? Run `node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze` from the project root — it auto-selects an available runner. No `.gitnexus/run.cjs` yet? `npx gitnexus analyze` (npm 11 crash → `npm i -g gitnexus`; #1939). ## Always Do - **MUST run impact analysis before editing any symbol.** Before modifying a function, class, or method, run `impact({target: "symbolName", direction: "upstream"})` and report the blast radius (direct callers, affected processes, risk level) to the user. - **MUST run `detect_changes()` before committing** to verify your changes only affect expected symbols and execution flows. For regression review, compare against the default branch: `detect_changes({scope: "compare", base_ref: "develop"})`. - **MUST warn the user** if impact analysis returns HIGH or CRITICAL risk before proceeding with edits. - When exploring unfamiliar code, use `query({query: "concept"})` to find execution flows instead of grepping. It returns process-grouped results ranked by relevance. - When you need full context on a specific symbol — callers, callees, which execution flows it participates in — use `context({name: "symbolName"})`. ## Never Do - NEVER edit a function, class, or method without first running `impact` on it. - NEVER ignore HIGH or CRITICAL risk warnings from impact analysis. - NEVER rename symbols with find-and-replace — use `rename` which understands the call graph. - NEVER commit changes without running `detect_changes()` to check affected scope. ## Resources | Resource | Use for | |----------|---------| | `gitnexus://repo/qinglong/context` | Codebase overview, check index freshness | | `gitnexus://repo/qinglong/clusters` | All functional areas | | `gitnexus://repo/qinglong/processes` | All execution flows | | `gitnexus://repo/qinglong/process/{name}` | Step-by-step execution trace | ## CLI | Task | Read this skill file | |------|---------------------| | Understand architecture / "How does X work?" | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-exploring/SKILL.md` | | Blast radius / "What breaks if I change X?" | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-impact-analysis/SKILL.md` | | Trace bugs / "Why is X failing?" | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-debugging/SKILL.md` | | Rename / extract / split / refactor | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-refactoring/SKILL.md` | | Tools, resources, schema reference | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-guide/SKILL.md` | | Index, status, clean, wiki CLI commands | `.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-cli/SKILL.md` |
