description	Query, search, and manage repositories indexed by Greptile (AI codebase intelligence). Use when asking questions about a codebase, searching for code patterns, indexing repos for Greptile review, or checking Greptile index status. Requires GREPTILE_TOKEN and a GitHub/GitLab token.

Greptile Skill

Query and manage Greptile-indexed repositories via the REST API.

Setup

Required environment variables:

• GREPTILE_TOKEN — Greptile API token (from https://app.greptile.com)
• GITHUB_TOKEN — GitHub PAT with repo access (alternatively set GREPTILE_GITHUB_TOKEN, or authenticate via gh auth login — the script falls back to gh auth token)

Commands

All commands use scripts/greptile.sh (resolve path relative to this skill directory).

Index a repository

scripts/greptile.sh index owner/repo [branch] [--remote github|gitlab] [--no-reload] [--no-notify]

Default branch: main. Use --no-reload to skip re-indexing if already processed.

Check index status

scripts/greptile.sh status owner/repo [branch] [--remote github|gitlab]

Returns: status (completed/processing/failed), filesProcessed, numFiles.

Query a codebase (AI answer + sources)

scripts/greptile.sh query owner/repo [branch] "How does auth work?" [--genius] [--remote github|gitlab]

• --genius — slower but smarter analysis (good for PR reviews, architecture questions)
• Returns: AI-generated answer + source file references with line numbers

Search a codebase (sources only, no AI answer)

scripts/greptile.sh search owner/repo [branch] "payment processing" [--remote github|gitlab]

Returns: ranked list of relevant files, functions, and snippets with line numbers.

Tips

• Always index a repo before querying/searching it. Check status to confirm indexing is complete.
• Use query --genius for complex questions (architecture, PR review context, cross-file analysis).
• Use search when you just need file locations without an AI explanation.
• For GitLab repos, pass --remote gitlab.
• Pipe output through jq for formatting: scripts/greptile.sh query ... | jq .
• Multi-repo queries: not supported by the wrapper; use the API directly with multiple repositories in the body.
