Grepai Ignore Patterns

yoanbernabeu/grepai-skills

This handles ignore pattern configuration for GrepAI, the code indexing tool. You'll use it when your search results are cluttered with node_modules, build artifacts, or generated code you don't want indexed. The patterns work like gitignore (which is also automatically respected) and go in .grepai/config.yaml. Supports exact matches, wildcards, and glob patterns for directories, files, and paths. The examples are comprehensive, covering JavaScript through Rust projects, with special sections on excluding tests versus penalizing them with boost factors. One nice touch is the verification section showing how to check if your index is bloated. Straightforward configuration that makes search actually usable on large codebases.

GrepAI Ignore Patterns

This skill covers how to configure ignore patterns to exclude files and directories from GrepAI indexing.

When to Use This Skill

  • Excluding test files from search results
  • Ignoring generated or vendored code
  • Reducing index size by excluding unnecessary files
  • Customizing which files GrepAI indexes

How Ignore Patterns Work

GrepAI uses two sources for ignore patterns:

  1. .grepai/config.yaml - Custom patterns you define
  2. .gitignore - Automatically respected

Configuration Location

# .grepai/config.yaml
ignore:
  - pattern1
  - pattern2

Pattern Syntax

Directory Patterns

ignore:
  # Exact directory name (matches anywhere)
  - node_modules
  - vendor
  - __pycache__

  # With trailing slash (explicit directory)
  - dist/
  - build/
  - coverage/

File Patterns

ignore:
  # Exact filename
  - package-lock.json
  - yarn.lock

  # Wildcard patterns
  - "*.min.js"
  - "*.min.css"
  - "*.map"
  - "*.lock"

Path Patterns

ignore:
  # Paths containing substring
  - /tests/
  - /spec/
  - /__tests__/

  # Specific paths
  - src/generated/
  - api/swagger/
