gitnexus-exploring SKILL.md skillA
gitnexus-exploring from metagit-ai/metagit-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add metagit-ai/metagit-cli/gitnexus-exploring@git:20260907.a6ce61cPins git:20260907.a6ce61c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the user asks how code works, wants to understand architecture, trace execution flows, or explore unfamiliar parts of the codebase. Examples: "How does X work?", "What calls this function?", "Show me the auth flow".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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
## Bind the repository first
Step 1 discovers what is indexed; every call after it must say which of those
it means. With one indexed repository, use the examples below as written. With
more than one, pass `repo` on every call: an omitted `repo` normally errors,
but under an MCP policy with a configured default it resolves to that default
silently. If you cannot tell which repository is meant, stop and ask. Report
the bound repository and index freshness alongside your explanation.
`list_repos` is paginated, so page with `offset: pagination.nextOffset` until
`hasMore` is false before concluding a repository is absent.
## Workflow
```
1. list_repos {} or READ gitnexus://repos → Discover indexed repos
2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/context → Codebase overview, check staleness
3. query({search_query: "<what you want to understand>"}) → Find related execution flows
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add metagit-ai/metagit-cli/gitnexus-exploring@sha256:77cdf847e5f22fb6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.a6ce61c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
