Repoprompt

If you're tired of burning thousands of tokens just to understand a codebase, this is your tool. RepoPrompt gives Claude token-efficient ways to explore code through signatures, line slices, and targeted searches instead of dumping entire files into context. The structure command shows you function signatures without full implementations, read can grab specific line ranges, and search returns matches with just the context you need. It's especially useful when you're working with large repos where context limits actually matter. The CLI syntax is straightforward, and there's an async mode for long-running operations like the AI-powered context builder. Requires the RepoPrompt app running locally with MCP enabled.

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'
