# Repo2txt ## Overview This skill converts local code repositories into a formatted text file suitable for sending to LLMs like Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. It's similar to https://repo2txt.simplebasedomain.com/ but runs locally, giving you full control over file selection and formatting. ## Quick Start ### Basic Usage Convert a repository to text and display in terminal: ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py /path/to/repo ``` Save to a file: ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py /path/to/repo -o output.txt ``` ### Filter by Extensions Only include specific file types: ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py /path/to/repo -e .py,.js,.ts ``` Exclude certain extensions: ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py /path/to/repo -x .test.js,.spec.ts ``` ### Common Scenarios **Debug a specific module:** ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py ./src/components -e .tsx,.ts -o component_debug.txt ``` **Analyze backend API:** ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py ./src/api -e .py -o api_analysis.txt ``` **Review configuration files:** ```bash python3 scripts/repo2txt.py . -e .json,.yaml,.yml,.toml -o config_review.txt ``` ## Output Format The generated text file includes three sections: 1. **Repository Summary**:

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill repo2txt-aresbit-matebot --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
