SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Token-efficient codebase exploration using RepoPrompt codemaps and slices. Use when you need deep codebase understanding without bloating context, finding all pieces of a feature across many files, or building context for code review. Requires rp-cli on macOS; degrades to repo-scout otherwise.

Core Features & Use Cases

Token-efficient exploration across large codebases using codemaps and slices.
Find all pieces of a feature across multiple files and understand architecture quickly.
Build context for code reviews when rp-cli is unavailable, gracefully degrading to repo-scout.

Quick Start

Start by verifying rp-cli availability and initiating a deep codebase exploration to gather context for a feature.

FAQPage Schema

How do I explore a large codebase to understand architecture without exceeding token limits?▼

Token-efficient codebase exploration uses codemaps and slices to understand large features across many files without bloating context. This approach allows you to perform deep-dive reviews and architecture discovery while managing token usage effectively.

How do I find all pieces of a feature scattered across multiple files for a code review?▼

You can find all pieces of a feature across multiple files by using token-efficient codebase exploration to gather the necessary context. This method enables quick architecture discovery and builds the precise context needed for thorough code reviews.

Do I need rp-cli installed to perform token-efficient codebase exploration?▼

Token-efficient codebase exploration requires rp-cli on macOS to function optimally. However, if rp-cli is unavailable, the process gracefully degrades to use repo-scout, ensuring you can still explore unfamiliar repositories.

What is the best way to onboard into unfamiliar repositories without consuming too many tokens?▼

The best way to onboard in unfamiliar repositories is using token-efficient codebase exploration with codemaps and slices. This technique quickly reveals the underlying architecture and feature distribution across files while strictly managing context window consumption.

Can I use this codebase exploration method if rp-cli is unavailable on my system?▼

Yes, you can still perform codebase exploration if rp-cli is unavailable, because the system gracefully degrades to repo-scout. This fallback mechanism ensures you can continue building context for code reviews and architecture discovery without interruption.

Why does my codebase context bloat when I try to review a large feature across many files?▼

Context bloats during large feature reviews because standard exploration loads entire files into the context window. Using token-efficient codebase exploration with codemaps and slices mitigates this by extracting only the necessary architectural context across multiple files.
