repo-map 0.8.0

Generate a comprehensive summary and visualization of a repository structure, enhanced with AI-powered descriptions and developer considerations.

🗺️ repo-map

An intelligent repository mapper that uses AI to create comprehensive, visual summaries of your codebase.

---

repo-map is an advanced tool for generating comprehensive, AI-enhanced summaries of software repositories. It provides developers with valuable insights into project structures, file purposes, and potential considerations across various programming languages. Using efficient caching, repo-map only processes files that have changed since the last run, making it ideal for continuous use in evolving projects. This tool not only aids in understanding and documenting codebases but can also assist LLM agents in writing accurate and functional code within your existing project structure.

🌟 Key Features

• 📊 Detailed Repository Summaries: Generates a tree-like visualization of your repository structure.
• 🧠 AI-Powered Enhancements: Get AI-generated descriptions, developer considerations, and more.
• 🌐 Multi-Language Support: Analyzes code structure across Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and more.
• 🚀 Efficient Caching: Uses SQLite to only process files that have changed since the last run.
• 📝 Markdown Output: Generates a clean Markdown file for easy sharing and documentation.
• 🔒 Gitignore Respect: Respects your root .gitignore file and includes a robust set of default ignore patterns.
• ⚡ Async Processing: Utilizes asynchronous processing for improved performance.

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/cyanheads/repo-map.git
   cd repo-map
   

2. Install dependencies using Poetry:

   poetry install
   

🚀 Usage

To generate a repository map, run the following command from the project root:

poetry run repo-map <repository_path> [options]

Replace <repository_path> with the path to the repository you want to analyze.

Options

• -y, --yes: Automatically accept the disclaimer and proceed without prompting.
• --model MODEL: Specify the OpenRouter LLM model to use (default: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6).
• --concurrency INT: Set the number of concurrent API calls (default: 3).

Examples

# Basic usage
repo-map /path/to/your/repo

# Use a specific model
repo-map /path/to/your/repo --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6"

# Auto-accept disclaimer
repo-map /path/to/your/repo -y

🐍 Example: Snake Game Repository Map

Here's an example of a repo-map generated for an advanced Snake game implemented in Python:

/ (SSSnakeGame)
├── main.py (Python)
│   ├── Description: Entry point for the Snake game; initializes Pygame and runs the main event loop.
│   ├── Developer Consideration: The game loop is tightly bound to Pygame's event system; significant changes require Pygame familiarity.
│   ├── Maintenance Flag: Stable
│   ├── Architectural Role: Entrypoint
│   ├── Refactoring Suggestions: Isolate game state from rendering to improve testability and reduce complexity.
│   ├── Critical Dependencies:
│   └──   - pygame: Game loop, input handling, and rendering.
├── config.py (Python)
│   ├── Description: Centralizes static configuration (screen dimensions, colors, snake speed).
│   ├── Developer Consideration: Changing screen dimensions may require adjustments to food spawning to keep it in bounds.
│   ├── Maintenance Flag: Volatile
│   └── Architectural Role: Configuration

│   └── sounds/
│       ├── eat.wav (Audio)
│       └── game_over.mp3 (Audio)
├── requirements.txt (Text)
│   └── Description: Lists Python package dependencies required to run the project, such as `pygame`.
└── README.md (Markdown)
    └── Description: Project overview including setup instructions, gameplay details, and contribution guidelines.

🔐 Configuration

Before using repo-map, you need to set up your OpenRouter API key. Set the following environment variable:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Replace your_api_key_here with your actual OpenRouter API key.

🧩 How It Works

1. Walks through the repository directory structure.
2. Analyzes file contents and extracts key information (imports, functions, classes).
3. Utilizes an LLM (via OpenRouter) to generate descriptions and developer considerations.
4. Caches results in SQLite for efficient processing of unchanged files.
5. Generates a comprehensive tree-like structure of the repository.
6. Saves the output as a Markdown file for easy viewing and sharing.
