Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Pack the Repository

步骤1：打包代码仓库

For Remote Repositories:

bash

npx repomix@latest --remote <repo> --output /tmp/<repo-name>-analysis.xml

IMPORTANT: Always output to

/tmp

for remote repositories to avoid polluting the user's current project directory.

For Local Directories:

bash

npx repomix@latest [directory] [options]

Common Options:

```
--style <format>
```
: Output format (xml, markdown, json, plain) - xml is default and recommended
```
--compress
```
: Enable Tree-sitter compression (~70% token reduction) - use for large repos
```
--include <patterns>
```
: Include only matching patterns (e.g., "src//*.ts,/*.md")
```
--ignore <patterns>
```
: Additional ignore patterns
```
--output <path>
```
: Custom output path (default: repomix-output.xml)
```
--remote-branch <name>
```
: Specific branch, tag, or commit to use (for remote repos)

Command Examples:

bash

undefined

远程代码仓库：

bash

npx repomix@latest --remote <repo> --output /tmp/<repo-name>-analysis.xml

重要提示：远程代码仓库的输出文件始终保存到

/tmp

本地目录：

bash

npx repomix@latest [directory] [options]

常见选项：

```
--style <format>
```
：输出格式（xml、markdown、json、plain）- 默认推荐xml格式
```
--compress
```
：启用Tree-sitter压缩（约减少70%的令牌数量）- 适用于大型代码仓库
```
--include <patterns>
```
：仅包含匹配的文件模式（例如："src//*.ts,/*.md"）
```
--ignore <patterns>
```
：额外的忽略模式
```
--output <path>
```
：自定义输出路径（默认：repomix-output.xml）
```
--remote-branch <name>
```
：指定要使用的分支、标签或提交记录（针对远程仓库）

命令示例：

bash

undefined

Basic remote pack (always use /tmp)

基础远程打包（始终使用/tmp目录）

npx repomix@latest --remote yamadashy/repomix --output /tmp/repomix-analysis.xml

Basic local pack

基础本地打包

npx repomix@latest

Pack specific directory

打包指定目录

npx repomix@latest ./src

Large repo with compression (use /tmp)

大型仓库打包并启用压缩（使用/tmp目录）

npx repomix@latest --remote facebook/react --compress --output /tmp/react-analysis.xml

Include only specific file types

仅包含特定类型的文件

npx repomix@latest --include "**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}"

undefined

npx repomix@latest --include "**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}"

undefined

Step 2: Check Command Output

步骤2：检查命令输出

The repomix command will display:

Files processed: Number of files included
Total characters: Size of content
Total tokens: Estimated AI tokens
Output file location: Where the file was saved (default:
```
./repomix-output.xml
```
)

Always note the output file location for the next steps.

repomix命令会显示以下信息：

已处理文件数：包含的文件数量
总字符数：内容大小
总令牌数：估算的AI令牌数量
输出文件位置：文件保存的路径（默认：
```
./repomix-output.xml
```
）

请务必记录输出文件的位置，以便后续步骤使用。

Step 3: Analyze the Output File

步骤3：分析输出文件

Start with structure overview:

Search for file tree section (usually near the beginning)
Check metrics summary for overall statistics

Search for patterns:

bash

undefined

从结构概览开始：

查找文件树部分（通常在开头附近）
查看指标摘要获取整体统计信息

搜索模式：

bash

undefined

Pattern search (preferred for large files)

模式搜索（大型文件优先使用）

grep -iE "export.*function|export.*class" repomix-output.xml

Search with context

带上下文的搜索

grep -iE -A 5 -B 5 "authentication|auth" repomix-output.xml


**Read specific sections:**
Read files with offset/limit for large outputs, or read entire file if small.

grep -iE -A 5 -B 5 "authentication|auth" repomix-output.xml


**读取特定部分：**
对于大型输出文件，使用偏移量/限制读取部分内容；如果文件较小，可以直接读取整个文件。

Step 4: Provide Insights

步骤4：提供洞见

Report metrics: Files, tokens, size from command output
Describe structure: From file tree analysis
Highlight findings: Based on grep results
Suggest next steps: Areas to explore further

报告指标：来自命令输出的文件数、令牌数、大小
描述结构：基于文件树分析
突出发现：基于grep搜索结果
建议下一步：值得进一步探索的领域

Best Practices

最佳实践

Efficiency

效率

Always use
--compress
for large repos (>100k lines)
Use pattern search (grep) first before reading entire files
Use custom output paths when analyzing multiple repos to avoid overwriting
Clean up output files after analysis if they're very large

大型仓库始终使用
--compress
（代码行数>100k）
**先使用模式搜索（grep）**再读取整个文件
分析多个仓库时使用自定义输出路径，避免文件被覆盖
分析完成后清理大型输出文件

Output Format

输出格式

XML (default): Best for structured analysis, clear file boundaries
Plain: Simpler to grep, but less structured
Markdown: Human-readable, good for documentation
JSON: Machine-readable, good for programmatic analysis

Recommendation: Stick with XML unless user requests otherwise.

XML（默认）：最适合结构化分析，文件边界清晰
Plain：更易于grep搜索，但结构化程度较低
Markdown：人类可读性强，适合用于文档
JSON：机器可读性强，适合程序化分析

推荐：除非用户另有要求，否则请使用XML格式。

Communication Style

沟通风格

Be concise but comprehensive: Summarize findings clearly
Use clear technical language: Code, file paths, commands should be precise
Cite sources: Reference file paths and line numbers
Suggest next steps: Guide further exploration

简洁全面：清晰总结发现的内容
使用准确的技术语言：代码、文件路径、命令需精准
引用来源：标注文件路径和行号
建议下一步：引导用户进行更深入的探索

Are your insights based on actual data from the output?
Have you provided file paths and line numbers for references?
Did you suggest logical next steps for deeper exploration?
Did you communicate clearly and concisely?
Did you note the output file location for user reference?
Did you clean up or mention cleanup if output file is very large?

Remember: Your goal is to make repository exploration intelligent and efficient. Run repomix strategically, search before reading, and provide actionable insights based on real code analysis.

完成分析前，请检查：

是否成功执行repomix命令？
是否记录了命令输出中的指标？
是否高效使用模式搜索（grep）后再读取大文件？
你的洞见是否基于输出文件中的实际数据？
