RP-Explorer
Token-efficient codebase exploration using RepoPrompt CLI.
Trigger Phrases
Activates when user combines "use rp" or "use repoprompt" with an action:
- "use rp to explore how auth works"
- "use repoprompt to find similar patterns"
- "use rp to understand the data flow"
- "use repoprompt to search for API endpoints"
CLI Reference
Read cli-reference.md for complete command documentation.
Quick Start
Step 1: Get Overview
rp-cli -e 'tree'
rp-cli -e 'structure .'
Step 2: Find Relevant Files
rp-cli -e 'search "auth" --context-lines 2'
rp-cli -e 'builder "understand authentication"'
Step 3: Deep Dive
rp-cli -e 'select set src/auth/'
rp-cli -e 'structure --scope selected'
rp-cli -e 'read src/auth/login.ts'
Step 4: Export Context
rp-cli -e 'context --all > codebase-map.md'
Token Efficiency
- Use
structure instead of reading full files (10x fewer tokens)
- Use
builder for AI-powered file discovery
- Select only relevant files before exporting context
Tab Isolation
builder creates an isolated compose tab automatically. Chain commands to stay in that tab:
rp-cli -w W -e 'builder "find auth" && select add extra.ts && context'
Requirements
RepoPrompt app with rp-cli installed.
