Start with the extension.

1. Download RepoLume

Download the current VSIX package:

2. Install it

1. Open Cursor or VS Code.
2. Open the Extensions view.
3. Choose Views and More Actions… → Install from VSIX…
4. Select the downloaded RepoLume package and reload the editor when prompted.

3. Open a project

Open a folder—not only an individual file—then select the RepoLume icon in the Activity Bar. The first private project index begins automatically and reports real progress.

4. Use your first project map

1. Wait until the dashboard says the private index is ready.
2. Choose Open Galaxy to explore communities and high-impact symbols.
3. Choose Ask with project context and describe the change you want to make.
4. Run Verify changes before you call the work complete.

5. Connect an AI coding agent

Choose Connect agents in RepoLume. It can prepare local MCP configuration for Cursor, Codex CLI, Claude Code, Windsurf, OpenCode, and compatible stdio clients.

Optional terminal use

The extension already includes the engine. If you also install the stable context-studio compatibility command from your private checkout, these are useful first checks:

Requirements

• Cursor or VS Code 1.85+
• Python 3
• An open project folder
