Setup guide: how to install RepoWise
Two commands. Five minutes. Every AI tool you use ends up fluent in your codebase.
What you'll have in 5 minutes
AI tools that know your code
Architecture, conventions, and the reasoning behind your decisions.
Real answers, not guesses
Grounded in your actual code, not generic patterns from training data.
Always current
Context refreshes automatically as your code changes. Zero upkeep.
What you need
That is the full list.
1Install
Open your terminal and run:
2Run setup
From your project directory:
The setup walks you through four short steps:
Sign in
One click in your browser. No long forms.
Pick your AI tools
Choose any combination of Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Codex, Roo Code, Gemini CLI, Warp, JetBrains Junie, Google Jules, Amp, and Devin.
Answer a few questions (optional)
A short interview about your architecture, conventions, and the decisions that are not obvious from the code. Skip it if you want, run it later from the dashboard.
Grab a coffee
RepoWise learns your code in the background. The first scan finishes in a few minutes for most repos.
3Open your AI tool and ask
That is it. Open Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any other tool you picked, and ask:
“What does this repo do?”
“Where is authentication handled?”
“Why did we choose Postgres over MongoDB?”
“What is the convention for error handling in this codebase?”
Every answer is grounded in your code and the reasoning behind it. No more generic suggestions. No more invented imports.
It stays current, forever
You run setup once per repo. After that, your context refreshes automatically as your code changes. Switch from Cursor to Claude Code next month? Already configured. Add a new tool? Re-run setup in the repo and pick it.
You never need to think about this again.
For your teammates
When a teammate joins a repo that already has RepoWise set up, they run:
That is the full onboarding. Their AI tools instantly know everything the team has already captured. No onboarding doc to read. No senior engineer to shadow for a week.
