# Multi-Repo Explorer ## Overview Maintain a local cache of reference repositories for exploring large codebases that span multiple repos. Clone missing repos, pull updates for existing ones, then explore to understand patterns and copy code snippets. ## Configuration Edit `repos.txt` in this skill directory. Add one repo URL per line: ``` git@github.com:your-org/auth-service.git git@github.com:your-org/shared-utils.git https://github.com/public/some-library.git ``` **Default repos location:** `~/.reference-repos` **Override with:** `REPOS_DIR=/custom/path ./sync.sh` ## Usage ### Step 1: Sync Repos Run the sync script to clone missing repos and pull updates: ```bash ~/.claude/skills/multi-repo-explorer/sync.sh ``` Output shows status for each repo: - `✓ repo-name (cloned)` - newly cloned - `✓ repo-name (updated)` - pulled latest - `✓ repo-name (up to date)` - no changes - `✗ repo-name (clone/pull failed)` - check URL and auth - `⚠ repo-name (dirty)` - has local changes, skipped pull ### Step 2: Explore Use standard tools to explore the repos: ```bash # Search across all repos Grep pattern ~/.reference-repos # Search specific repo Grep pattern ~/.reference-repos/auth-service # Find files Glob "**/*.ts" ~/.reference-repos/repo-name # Read files Read ~/.reference-repos/repo-name/src/file.ts ``` ### Rules 1. **Read-only** - Never modify files in reference repos 2. **Copy and adapt** - Can copy snippets into current project, adapt to fit conventions 3. **Cite sources** - When copying significant patterns, note which repo it came from ## Common Exploration Patterns | Question | Approach | |----------|----------| | "How does X handle Y?" | Grep for Y in repo X, read relevant files | | "What's the API for X?" | Look for exports, public interfaces, README | | "Find examples of pattern" | Grep across all repos | | "Trace data flow" | Start at entry point, follow imports | ## Troubleshooting **Auth failures:** Ensure SSH keys are configured for private repos, or use HTTPS with token. **Dirty working directory:** Commit or stash changes in the repo before pulling. **Repo not found:** Verify URL is correct and you have access.
