FAQPage Schema
How do I execute RepoPrompt commands from the shell using rp-cli?

Execute RepoPrompt commands through rp-cli by running shell commands that invoke the MCP tools. Use `rp-cli -e 'command'` syntax to pass builder, chat, file selection, and workspace commands directly from Bash, with the rp-cli client connecting to a running RepoPrompt MCP server.

What do I need to set up before using rp-cli?

Set up a running RepoPrompt MCP server and install the rp-cli client locally. Ensure your shell environment supports standard command syntax, quoting, and redirection rules so rp-cli can execute chained commands and target specific windows without errors.

Can I use rp-cli to generate plans and continue chat sessions?

Yes. Use the builder command with `--response-type plan` to generate plans, and use chat and chats commands to manage conversation history and continue sessions. Both workflows execute through rp-cli's shell interface and persist in your local RepoPrompt workspace.

How do I select files and inspect code structure with rp-cli?

Use the select command with add/set options to target files, and the structure and tree commands to inspect code hierarchies. These commands execute through rp-cli and surface file metadata and dependency relationships within your workspace.

What's the difference between using rp-cli directly versus RepoPrompt's other interfaces?

rp-cli provides a shell-based conduit to RepoPrompt's MCP tools, enabling command chaining and scripted workflows in terminal environments. It differs from GUI or API-based interfaces by offering local command execution with Bash redirection and quoting, suited for automation and CI/CD integration.

Does rp-cli support chaining multiple commands together?

Yes. rp-cli executes single and chained commands through the shell, allowing you to pipe outputs, redirect results, and sequence operations targeting specific windows. Command chaining follows standard Bash syntax and quoting rules.
