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.
