Quick Start

1. Index your home directory

nexus scan

This recursively walks ~, respecting .gitignore patterns, and indexes everything into SQLite with FTS5.

2. Search

nexus search "nvim config"
nexus search --category config "keybinding"

3. Manage configs

nexus config list          # discover tools in ~/.config
nexus config backup        # snapshot all configs
nexus config diff nvim     # see what changed since last backup

4. Start the watcher

nexus daemon start         # watch ~/.config for changes
nexus changes              # see recent filesystem changes

5. Launch the dashboard

nexus tui                  # terminal UI
# or
nexus serve                # web server at localhost:3000

6. Ask AI (optional)

Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment, then:

nexus ask "what are my largest config files?"
