repoforge 0.1.1

Generate a formatted LLM prompt from a repository directory.

RepoForge

RepoForge is a Python tool that scans a repository directory, summarizes its contents, and generates a formatted prompt with XML tags. This prompt includes a visual directory tree and summaries of text files, making it ideal for integrations with other tools or for creating structured inputs for language models.

Features

• Recursive Directory Scanning: Walks through the directory tree while ignoring specified directories (e.g., .git, __pycache__, .idea, .vscode).
• File Summarization: Reads text files and includes a truncated summary (up to a configurable number of lines) unless the file exceeds a set size limit.
• Ignored File Types: Skips files with certain extensions (e.g., .pyc, images, PDFs, ZIPs) to focus on relevant content.
• XML-Formatted Output: Combines the directory tree and file summaries into a structured XML-like prompt.
• Command-Line Interface (CLI): Includes an optional CLI entrypoint for manual testing and quick usage.

Installation

Repo Prompt Generator can be installed via PyPI once published:

pip install repoforge

Alternatively, clone the repository from GitHub and install it locally:

git clone https://github.com/ahearn15/repoforge.git
cd repoforge
pip install .

Usage

As a Command-Line Tool

The package provides a CLI that allows you to generate a prompt directly from the terminal.

python -m repoforge <repo_directory> [<system_message>] [<user_instructions>]

For example:

python -m repoforge /path/to/your/repo "System message goes here" "User instructions go here"

As a Python Module

You can also import and use the functionality directly in your Python code:

from repoforge import generate_prompt

# Define the repository directory and optional messages
repo_dir = "/path/to/your/repo"
system_message = "System message goes here"
user_instructions = "User instructions go here"

# Generate the formatted prompt
prompt = generate_prompt(repo_dir, system_message, user_instructions)
print(prompt)

Configuration

The behavior of Repo Prompt Generator can be modified by adjusting the following configuration constants in the code:

• IGNORED_DIRS: Set of directory names to skip (default: {'.git', '__pycache__', '.idea', '.vscode'}).
• IGNORED_EXTENSIONS: Set of file extensions to ignore (default: {'.pyc', '.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.pdf', '.zip'}).
• MAX_FILE_SIZE_BYTES: Maximum file size in bytes to summarize (default: 100000 bytes).
• MAX_SUMMARY_LINES: Maximum number of lines to include from a file’s content (default: 500).

Feel free to modify these constants to fit the needs of your project.
