with-repomix

A rule for projects that include a Repomix snapshot: a condensed file containing much of the codebase and its documentation. It tells the assistant to inspect that snapshot before searching the original files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when investigating a codebase with snapshot.xml, especially to locate files, classes, methods, imports, documentation, or tests before checking detailed source code.
Why use it?
It provides a quick overview of the repository and reduces unnecessary direct file searches when the snapshot contains the needed information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 526 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

with-repomix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CRITICAL: This Codebase Has A Repomix Snapshot

Do NOT use your tools to search the codebase or read files for this turn. Instead do the following:

  • The file snapshot.xml contains a snapshot of the entire codebase with all its code files and documentation
  • You can use snapshot.xml to understand the codebase at a high-level.
  • Read all or parts of snapshot.xml to find the files or code you're looking for before trying to read the actual file
  • You can grep search this file, or read individual lines
  • It is a parsed AST of the codebase and contains almost all file names, classes, methods, imports, exports, code comments, variables, constants...
  • Grep search for the same terms you would when using your codebase search tool
  • Highly granular parts of the code are not shown in snapshot.xml, and require you to review the actual file
  • NOTE: Fallback on your regular tools if you can't find what you're looking for in snapshot.xml or the file seems inaccurate or out-of-date.

Reading And Generating The Snapshot

  • REPOMIX FILE LOCATION: Stored in snapshot.xml
  • REPOMIX FILE CONTENTS: Contains code, documentation, and tests related to this project condensed into a single file
  • The repomix configuration is at repomix.config.json
  • You can update the snapshot when needed by running the script at build-snapshot.sh
  • IMPORTANT: Use the file codebase-summary.xml ONLY as a reference. Prefer to inspect the actual files in the codebase if you need granularity on a specific piece of code

When Adding or Removing Files To This Codebase

  • Update the Repomix config at repomix.config.json so that they're tracked or untracked in the snapshot (if they aren't already)
  • To track a file add the glob pattern to the include array like so:
{
"include": ["README.md", "src/**/*.ts", "test/**/*.ts", "docs/**/*.md"]
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

with-repomix is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository zackiles/cursor-config (17 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 526 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
