context-scout

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
