When should I update the RepoMap?

You should run 'repomap update' whenever significant changes are made to the codebase to ensure your queries return accurate, up-to-date results.

What is the primary benefit of RepoMap?

It allows developers to quickly locate specific code modules and entry points within large, complex repositories using keyword queries and structured summaries.

How do I initialize the repository map?

You can use the 'repomap build' command within the skill to create the .repomap/ directory which stores the index and summaries.

Can I exclude certain directories from the map?

Yes, the skill supports --ignore patterns to exclude folders like node_modules or build artifacts from the indexing process.

Does RepoMap support JSON output?

Yes, using the --format json flag allows for structured output that can be easily parsed or used by other automated processes.

Developer Tools

Navigates and indexes large codebases to locate specific modules, entry points, and keywords efficiently.

RepoMap is a specialized discovery and navigation skill designed to help developers master large repositories. By building and querying a structured map of a codebase within a .repomap/ directory, it provides a programmatic way to identify relevant modules, entry files, and architectural patterns. It is particularly useful when onboarding to new projects or performing cross-module bug fixes, allowing Claude to summarize repository structures and find specific logic using keyword-based queries without manual file-by-file inspection.
