# Repo map

> Lightweight project layout and Python symbol overview for agent context.

Get a compact view of the current git repo: directory layout, detected project type, and top-level Python symbols. Inspired by Aider/OpenCode repo-awareness, without full RAG ingest.

## Natural language

```bash theme={null}
arka map this repo
arka show project structure
arka codebase overview with symbols
```

## CLI commands

| Command | Description |
| - | - |
| `repo_map map [path]` | Show layout (depth 2) |
| `repo_map map --depth 3` | Deeper tree |
| `repo_map map --symbols` | Include Python class/function names |

Uses the current git root when inside a repository, otherwise the current directory. Ignores `node_modules`, `.git`, virtualenvs, and build artifacts.
