Repowise Export

Export indexed wiki pages to files, or emit a Structurizr DSL architecture model. Use this when the user wants a shareable dump, a static site, a JSON archive, or a C4/Structurizr model — not when they need an interactive Q&A answer (`/repowise:ask`).

Steps

1. If `.repowise/` doesn't exist: "This repo isn't indexed yet. Run `/repowise:init` first." Stop. 2. Resolve format and output from `$ARGUMENTS` (see below). 3. Run `repowise export` and report where files were written (page count / output path). Do not invent page content.

Choosing the invocation

Default — markdown under `.repowise/export`:

repowise export

Handle `$ARGUMENTS`:

• "html" / "site" → `repowise export --format html`
• "json" → `repowise export --format json`
• "json full" / "archive" → `repowise export --format json --full`

(`--full` keeps tombstones and adds decisions / dead code / hotspots)

• "structurizr" / "c4" / "dsl" → `repowise export --format structurizr`
• "structurizr standalone" → `repowise export --format structurizr --standalone`
• "structurizr components" → add `--components`
• "to <dir>" / "-o <dir>" → pass `--output <dir>`

(for structurizr, a path ending in `.dsl` names the file itself)

• A repo path → `repowise export <path> …`

repowise export
repowise export --format html -o ./site
repowise export --format json --full
repowise export --format structurizr --standalone --components
repowise export --format structurizr -o architecture.dsl

Structurizr notes

• Default structurizr output is a **model fragment** to include from your own

`workspace.dsl`. Pass `--standalone` for a complete workspace with default views.

• `--force` overwrites an output file even if Repowise did not write it

(`--standalone` often targets `workspace.dsl`).

• `--no-externals` leaves third-party dependencies out of the model.

Notes

• Markdown / HTML / JSON write a directory of pages; structurizr writes DSL.
• Never fabricate export contents. If the command reports no pages, say so and

suggest `/repowise:init`.
