Installation

Quick Installation

Install from git repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/quantmew/ripperdoc.git

Or install from source:

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd Ripperdoc

# Install from source
pip install -e .

Configuration

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# or for Anthropic Claude
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Usage

Interactive Mode (Recommended)

ripperdoc

This launches an interactive session where you can:

• Ask questions about your codebase
• Request code modifications
• Execute commands
• Navigate and explore files

Python SDK (headless)

Use Ripperdoc without the terminal UI via the new Python SDK. See docs/SDK_USAGE.md for examples of the one-shot query helper and the session-based RipperdocClient. 中文指南见 docs/SDK_USAGE_CN.md。

SDK Examples

• Basic Usage: Simple one-shot queries
• Session Management: Persistent sessions with context
• Tool Integration: Direct tool access and customization
• Configuration: Custom model providers and settings

See the examples/ directory for complete SDK usage examples.

Safe Mode Permissions

Safe mode is the default. Use --unsafe to skip permission prompts. Choose a/always to allow a tool for the current session (not persisted across sessions).

Examples

Code Analysis

> Can you explain what this function does?

File Operations

> Read the main.py file and suggest improvements

Code Generation

> Create a new Python script that implements a REST API client

Project Navigation

> Show me all the Python files in the project
