repoprompt（repoprompt 搜索）

RepoPrompt Skill

When to Use

• Explore codebase structure (tree, codemaps)
• Search code with context lines
• Get code signatures without full file content (token-efficient)
• Read file slices (specific line ranges)
• Build context for tasks

Token Optimization

RepoPrompt is more token-efficient than raw file reads:

• structure → signatures only (not full content)
• read --start-line --limit → slices instead of full files
• search --context-lines → relevant matches with context

CLI Usage

# If installed to PATH (Settings → MCP Server → Install CLI to PATH)
rp-cli -e 'command'

# Or use the alias (configure in your shell)
repoprompt_cli -e 'command'

Commands Reference

File Tree

# Full tree
rp-cli -e 'tree'

# Folders only
rp-cli -e 'tree --mode folders'

# Selected files only
rp-cli -e 'tree --mode selected'

Code Structure (Codemaps) - TOKEN EFFICIENT

# Structure of specific paths
rp-cli -e 'structure src/auth/'

# Structure of selected files
rp-cli -e 'structure --scope selected'

# Limit results
rp-cli -e 'structure src/ --max-results 10'

Search

# Basic search
rp-cli -e 'search "pattern"'

# With context lines
rp-cli -e 'search "error" --context-lines 3'

# Filter by extension
rp-cli -e 'search "TODO" --extensions .ts,.tsx'

# Limit results
rp-cli -e 'search "function" --max-results 20'

Read Files - TOKEN EFFICIENT

# Full file
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts'

# Line range (slice)
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts --start-line 50 --limit 30'

# Last N lines (tail)
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts --start-line -20'

Selection Management

# Add files to selection
rp-cli -e 'select add src/auth/'

# Set selection (replace)
rp-cli -e 'select set src/api/ src/types/'

# Clear selection
rp-cli -e 'select clear'

# View current selection
rp-cli -e 'select get'

Workspace Context

# Get full context
rp-cli -e 'context'

# Specific includes
rp-cli -e 'context --include prompt,selection,tree'

Chain Commands

# Multiple operations
rp-cli -e 'select set src/auth/ && structure --scope selected && context'

Workspaces

# List workspaces
rp-cli -e 'workspace list'

# List tabs
rp-cli -e 'workspace tabs'

# Switch workspace
rp-cli -e 'workspace switch "ProjectName"'

AI Chat (uses RepoPrompt's models)

# Send to chat
rp-cli -e 'chat "How does the auth system work?"'

# Plan mode
rp-cli -e 'chat "Design a new feature" --mode plan'

Context Builder (AI-powered file selection)

# Auto-select relevant files for a task
rp-cli -e 'builder "implement user authentication"'

Workflow Shorthand Flags

# Quick operations without -e syntax
rp-cli --workspace MyProject --select-set src/ --export-context ~/out.md
rp-cli --chat "How does auth work?"
rp-cli --builder "implement user authentication"

Script Files (.rp)

For repeatable workflows, save commands to a script:

# daily-export.rp
workspace switch Frontend
select set src/components/
context --all > ~/exports/frontend.md

Run with:

rp-cli --exec-file ~/scripts/daily-export.rp

CLI Flags

Async Operations (tmux)

For long-running operations like builder, use the async script:

# Start context builder async
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py \
    --action start --task "understand the auth system"

# With workspace switch
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py \
    --action start --workspace "MyProject" --task "explore API patterns"

# Check status
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action status

# Get result when done
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action result

# Kill if needed
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action kill

Note

Requires RepoPrompt app running with MCP Server enabled.
