repo-structure.sh

This tool creates a compact, hierarchical representation of your Git repository that you can paste directly into an assistant prompt to provide immediate context. Uses the XML format of Claude Code.

Remote Execution

# Run this from the ROOT of your git repository
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enricoros/big-AGI/main/tools/ai/repo-structure.sh | sh

Options

• -a, --all: Include hidden files and directories
• -o, --output FILE: Save output to a file
• -h, --help: Show help message

Example with options (include hidden files):

• curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enricoros/big-AGI/main/tools/ai/repo-structure.sh | sh -s -- -a

Requirements

• Bash 4+ (for associative arrays)
• Git (the repository must be initialized)
• For clipboard functionality:
  • macOS: pbcopy (built-in)
  • Linux: xclip or xsel
  • Windows: clip (Git Bash)

How does the output look?

The output is specifically formatted for easy consumption by AI assistants:

<context name="directoryStructure" description="Below is a snapshot of this project root file structure (git ls-files) at the start of the conversation. This snapshot will NOT update during the conversation.">
- README.md
- src/
  - app/
    - components/
      - Button.tsx
  ...
</context>

Just paste this into your AI assistant's prompt for instant context about the codebase structure.
