When you tell an AI coding assistant to &ldquo;find where the user authentication is handled,&rdquo; it either needs the entire codebase in its context window (costing thousands of tokens) or you must manually hunt down and paste the relevant files (wasting your time). Nexus Skills bridges this gap by building a <strong>persistent, queryable knowledge base</strong> from your codebase that AI assistants can search with minimal token overhead.</p> <p>The project splits into two core components. <strong>Nexus-mapper</strong> is the indexing engine that scans your source code and generates structured intelligence &ndash; AST-based dependency graphs, file structure maps, call hierarchies, and change impact data. <strong>Nexus-query</strong> is the search interface that AI assistants (or you, via CLI) can query to find functions, trace dependencies, understand module relationships, and assess change impact.</p>
