Use when the user is debugging a bug, tracing an error, or asking why something fails. Examples: "Why is X failing?", "Where does this error come from?", "Trace this bug"

AI 生成的概览

指导使用 GitNexus 代码索引 MCP 工具调试缺陷并追踪错误根因。

功能: 该技能提供一套通过 GitNexus MCP 工具排查缺陷、错误和异常行为的工作流程。内容包括绑定正确的已索引仓库、按错误文本查询、查看调用方与被调用方、追踪执行流程和调用链，并在源码中确认根因。产出结论时会说明所用仓库和索引新鲜度，并附有症状对应方法和一个 500 错误的完整示例。
适用场景: 当用户询问某功能为何失败、错误来自何处、谁调用了某方法，或希望追踪缺陷与异常行为时使用。适用于间歇性失败、返回值错误、性能问题和近期回归。
运行要求: 需要 GitNexus MCP 服务器及其工具（list_repos、query、context、cypher、trace、detect_changes）以及一个已索引的仓库；仅为说明文档，不含脚本。

Debugging with GitNexus

When to Use

"Why is this function failing?"
"Trace where this error comes from"
"Who calls this method?"
"This endpoint returns 500"
Investigating bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior

Bind the repository first

A root cause traced in the wrong repository is a wrong root cause.

Call list_repos {} before the first tool call. 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. This matters most for cypher, whose statement carries no in-band hint of which database it ran against.

list_repos is paginated, so page with offset: pagination.nextOffset until hasMore is false before concluding a repository is absent.

A stale index describes the code from before your bug, so refresh before trusting a trace, and state the repository and index freshness with the diagnosis.

Workflow

0. list_repos {}                                          → Bind repo1. query({search_query: "<error or symptom>"})            → Find related execution flows2. context({name: "<suspect>"})                    → See callers/callees/processes3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name}                → Trace execution flow4. cypher({statement: "MATCH path..."})                 → Custom traces if needed

0. list_repos {}                                          → Bind repo1. query({search_query: "<error or symptom>"})            → Find related execution flows2. context({name: "<suspect>"})                    → See callers/callees/processes3. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name}                → Trace execution flow4. cypher({statement: "MATCH path..."})                 → Custom traces if needed

If "Index is stale" → run node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze in terminal. Hot-tool staleness names which index answered (branch/lastCommit) and how fresh it is (status). Re-analyze only for behind or diverged — current is identity, unknown is unmeasurable.

Debugging Patterns

Symptom	GitNexus Approach
Error message	`query` for error text → `context` on throw sites
Wrong return value	`context` on the function → trace callees for data flow
Intermittent failure	`context` → look for external calls, async deps
Performance issue	`context` → find symbols with many callers (hot paths)
Recent regression	`detect_changes` to see what your changes affect — pass `worktree` for a linked worktree
"How does A reach B?"	`trace` between the two symbols — shortest call chain in one call

Tools

query — find code related to error:

query({search_query: "payment validation error", repo: "my-app"})→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException

query({search_query: "payment validation error", repo: "my-app"})→ Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling→ Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError, PaymentException

context — full context for a suspect:

context({name: "validatePayment", repo: "my-app"})→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7)

context({name: "validatePayment", repo: "my-app"})→ Incoming calls: processCheckout, webhookHandler→ Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)→ Processes: CheckoutFlow (step 3/7)

cypher — custom call chain traces. Pass repo alongside the statement; the Cypher text itself names no repository, so the result is unattributable without it:

cypher

MATCH path = (a)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}*1..2]->(b:Function {name: "validatePayment"})RETURN [n IN nodes(path) | n.name] AS chain

MATCH path = (a)-[:CodeRelation {type: 'CALLS'}*1..2]->(b:Function {name: "validatePayment"})RETURN [n IN nodes(path) | n.name] AS chain

trace — shortest call chain between two symbols ("how does A reach B?"), one call instead of chaining context hops:

trace({ from: "processCheckout", to: "fetchRates", repo: "my-app" })→ status: ok, hopCount: 3→ hops: processCheckout → validatePayment → verifyCard → fetchRates→ edges: CALLS (1.0), CALLS (0.95), CALLS (1.0)

trace({ from: "processCheckout", to: "fetchRates", repo: "my-app" })→ status: ok, hopCount: 3→ hops: processCheckout → validatePayment → verifyCard → fetchRates→ edges: CALLS (1.0), CALLS (0.95), CALLS (1.0)

When no path exists, trace reports the furthest reachable node — exactly where the chain breaks (dynamic dispatch, reflection, or an external boundary).

Example: "Payment endpoint returns 500 intermittently"

0. list_repos {}   → total: 2 (my-app, billing-api) — bind my-app explicitly on every call
1. query({search_query: "payment error handling", repo: "my-app"})   → Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling   → Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError
2. context({name: "validatePayment", repo: "my-app"})   → Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
3. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/process/CheckoutFlow   → Step 3: validatePayment → calls fetchRates (external)
4. Root cause: fetchRates calls external API without proper timeout   Repository: my-app  Index: current

0. list_repos {}   → total: 2 (my-app, billing-api) — bind my-app explicitly on every call
1. query({search_query: "payment error handling", repo: "my-app"})   → Processes: CheckoutFlow, ErrorHandling   → Symbols: validatePayment, handlePaymentError
2. context({name: "validatePayment", repo: "my-app"})   → Outgoing calls: verifyCard, fetchRates (external API!)
3. READ gitnexus://repo/my-app/process/CheckoutFlow   → Step 3: validatePayment → calls fetchRates (external)
4. Root cause: fetchRates calls external API without proper timeout   Repository: my-app  Index: current

With a single indexed repository, step 0 returns total: 1 and the repo argument drops out of every call above.
