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
structureinstead of reading full files (10x fewer tokens) - Use
builderfor 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
