This skill covers how to configure ignore patterns to exclude files and directories from GrepAI indexing.

When to Use This Skill

• Excluding test files from search results

How Ignore Patterns Work

GrepAI uses two sources for ignore patterns:

1. .grepai/config.yaml - Custom patterns you define
2. .gitignore - Automatically respected
