What it does

Repoprompt is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Use RepoPrompt CLI for token-efficient codebase exploration

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/repoprompt”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Repoprompt loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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

bash
# 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
bash
# 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
bash
# 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'
bash
# Basic search
rp-cli -e 'search "pattern"'

# With context lines
rp-cli -e 'search "error" --context-lines 3'

# Filter by extension
rp-cli -e 'search "TODO" --extensions .ts,.tsx'

# Limit results
rp-cli -e 'search "function" --max-results 20'
Read Files - TOKEN EFFICIENT
bash
# Full file
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts'

# Line range (slice)
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts --start-line 50 --limit 30'

# Last N lines (tail)
rp-cli -e 'read path/to/file.ts --start-line -20'
Selection Management
bash
# Add files to selection
rp-cli -e 'select add src/auth/'

# Set selection (replace)
rp-cli -e 'select set src/api/ src/types/'

# Clear selection
rp-cli -e 'select clear'

# View current selection
rp-cli -e 'select get'
Workspace Context
bash
# Get full context
rp-cli -e 'context'

# Specific includes
rp-cli -e 'context --include prompt,selection,tree'
Chain Commands
bash
# Multiple operations
rp-cli -e 'select set src/auth/ && structure --scope selected && context'
Workspaces
bash
# List workspaces
rp-cli -e 'workspace list'

# List tabs
rp-cli -e 'workspace tabs'

# Switch workspace
rp-cli -e 'workspace switch "ProjectName"'
AI Chat (uses RepoPrompt's models)
bash
# Send to chat
rp-cli -e 'chat "How does the auth system work?"'

# Plan mode
rp-cli -e 'chat "Design a new feature" --mode plan'
Context Builder (AI-powered file selection)
bash
# Auto-select relevant files for a task
rp-cli -e 'builder "implement user authentication"'

Workflow Shorthand Flags

bash
# Quick operations without -e syntax
rp-cli --workspace MyProject --select-set src/ --export-context ~/out.md
rp-cli --chat "How does auth work?"
rp-cli --builder "implement user authentication"

Script Files (.rp)

For repeatable workflows, save commands to a script:

bash
# daily-export.rp
workspace switch Frontend
select set src/components/
context --all > ~/exports/frontend.md

Run with:

bash
rp-cli --exec-file ~/scripts/daily-export.rp

CLI Flags

FlagPurpose
-e 'cmd'Execute command(s)
-w <id>Target window ID
-qQuiet mode
-d <cmd>Detailed help for command
--wait-for-server 5Wait for connection (scripts)

Async Operations (tmux)

For long-running operations like builder, use the async script:

bash
# Start context builder async
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py \
    --action start --task "understand the auth system"

# With workspace switch
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py \
    --action start --workspace "MyProject" --task "explore API patterns"

# Check status
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action status

# Get result when done
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action result

# Kill if needed
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/repoprompt_async.py --action kill

Note

Requires RepoPrompt app running with MCP Server enabled.
