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. Use -t to target it:

# Builder returns: Tab: <UUID> • <Name>
rp-cli -w W -t "<Name>" -e 'select add extra.ts && context'

# Or chain commands:
rp-cli -w W -e 'builder "find auth" && select add extra.ts && context'

Requirements

RepoPrompt v1.5.62+ with rp-cli installed.
