SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Token-efficient codebase exploration is performed by guiding the user to quickly get an overview, locate relevant files, and understand data flows without loading the entire codebase into memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

Token-efficient exploration: Structure, search, and read commands to minimize token usage while maintaining context.
Guided codebase navigation: Rapidly map project structure and identify related modules, authentication flows, and data paths.
Use Case: Imagine onboarding a new engineer who needs to understand an unfamiliar repo by sprint end; this skill yields a concise map and key references.

Quick Start

Use rp-cli to generate a high-level map of the project with commands like tree and structure, then drill down with read and search to locate authentication flows.

FAQPage Schema

How do I explore a large codebase without consuming too many tokens?▼

Token-efficient codebase exploration is achieved by using rp-cli commands like tree and structure to generate high-level maps, then drilling down with search and read to locate specific files and data paths without loading the entire project into memory.

How do I locate authentication flows and API endpoints in an unfamiliar repository?▼

To locate authentication flows and API endpoints, you can use the rp-cli search command to find relevant modules and the read command to examine specific files, creating a concise contextual map of the project's data paths.

Do I need RepoPrompt installed to map a project structure?▼

Yes, mapping a project structure requires RepoPrompt v1.5.62 or higher and the rp-cli tool installed, as these provide the tree, structure, search, and read commands used to generate the contextual codebase maps.

What is the best way to onboard a new engineer to an unfamiliar codebase?▼

The best way to onboard a new engineer is to use rp-cli to rapidly map the project structure and identify related modules, yielding a concise map and key references for understanding data flows by sprint end.

Can I trace data paths in a large project using search and read commands?▼

Yes, you can trace data paths by using the rp-cli search command to locate relevant components across the codebase, then using the read command to examine the specific files and understand the flow without loading everything.
