RPG-ZeroRepo

RPG-ZeroRepo turns Repository Planning Graphs into a control layer for long-horizon AI coding agents.

🔥 New: [CoderMind](CoderMind/) is now open source for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot.

Coding agents often lose repository-level context across long tasks: requirements drift, architecture decisions disappear, and edits miss hidden dependencies.

CoderMind gives agents a persistent RPG workspace so they can plan, generate, understand, and update repositories through a shared graph instead of transient chat history and file search.

The repository also includes the research code: [ZeroRepo](#zerorepo-requirements--rpg--repository) implements the forward pipeline (requirements → RPG → repository), and [RPG-Encoder](#rpg-encoder-repository--rpg) implements the reverse pipeline (repository → RPG).

CoderMind

CoderMind turns Repository Planning Graphs into a control layer for long-horizon AI coding agents.

> Good planning for coding agents should be grounded, executable, verifiable, and reusable. CoderMind makes the plan a graph, not a transient chat artifact.

CoderMind gives agents such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot a persistent RPG workspace for planning, generation, repository understanding, and graph-aware editing.

Why CoderMind?

Coding agents are strong at local edits, but repository-level work requires durable context: requirements, architecture, implementation progress, and dependencies must stay aligned across many steps.

| Without CoderMind | With CoderMind | |---|---| | The agent relies on chat history and file search. | The agent works against a structured RPG workspace. | | Requirements and design decisions drift over long tasks. | Requirements, features, architecture, and files stay connected in the graph. | | Multi-file generation can become inconsistent. | Generation follows an explicit planning graph. | | Updates are often local edits without impact analysis. | Edits are planned through affected RPG nodes and dependencies. | | The repository map is rebuilt mentally every time. | The RPG is searchable, explorable, and reusable across tasks. |

What can I do with CoderMind?

| Task | Start from | CoderMind workflow | Benefit | |---|---|---|---| | Build a new repository | A natural-language requirement | Create an RPG plan, refine it into architecture/tasks, then generate code. | A persistent plan for long-horizon multi-file generation. | | Understand an existing repository | An existing codebase | Encode the repo into an RPG workspace, then search, explore, and explain through MCP tools (search_rpg, explore_rpg, get_node_detail). | A structured repository map beyond chat history and file search. | | Update an existing repository | A codebase + change request | Use the RPG to locate affected nodes, plan the edit, and update code and graph together (/cmind.rpg_edit "..."). | Graph-aware edits that account for cross-file dependencies. |

Quick Start

uv tool install cmind-cli \
--from "git+https://github.com/microsoft/RPG-ZeroRepo.git#subdirectory=CoderMind"
cmind check

On an existing repository:

cd your-existing-repo
cmind init . --encode
# In Claude Code or GitHub Copilot:
# /cmind.rpg_edit "Add rate limiting to all API endpoints"

Generate a new repository:

cmind init my-project
cd my-project
# In Claude Code or GitHub Copilot:
# /cmind.feature_spec Build a CLI tool for managing Docker containers
# /cmind.feature_build → /cmind.feature_refactor → ... → /cmind.code_gen

Overview

CoderMind gives Claude Code and GitHub Copilot a persistent RPG workspace for repository-level tasks. Instead of relying only on chat history, file search, and local context, the agent can carry repository-level planning state across long tasks.

CoderMind exposes the RPG workspace through three interfaces:

  • CLI setup — initialize CoderMind in a new or existing repository with cmind init.
  • Slash commands — run build, understand, and update workflows inside the coding agent (/cmind.feature_spec, /cmind.code_gen, /cmind.encode, /cmind.rpg_edit, and more).
  • **MCP…
