gitnexus
Descriptor-only registration. Companion reference for OctoCode's future
graph-aware code intelligence layer.
Why registered
GitNexus demonstrates a zero-server code knowledge-graph approach
(repo → AST → symbols → cross-references) that runs entirely in the
browser. OctoCode's runtime currently exposes file-level navigation
(read-file, glob-files, search-text, lsp-hover) but no symbol
graph; GitNexus is the canonical reference design when we evaluate a
future code-graph tool family.
Integration plan (deferred)
- Optional setting
integrations.gitnexus.enabled (default off).
- A new tool
code-graph-query <symbol> that returns nearest-symbol
neighbours from a locally generated graph stored under
.octocode/graph.json (no remote calls).
- The graph builder runs as a subagent task, gated by
enforce_approval.
Safety notes
- Never submit repository content to a hosted graph service.
- Reuse
runtime/file_guard.rs for binary / size / symlink safety when
walking the workspace.
- Treat AST/parser inputs as untrusted; fail closed on parse errors.
