deepwiki-cli
Category: Development & Coding | Uploader: 
Use when the user asks questions about a GitHub repository's architecture, API, or internals, or mentions deepwiki-cli or DeepWiki. Activates when the user needs to understand a codebase they haven't cloned locally, or asks how a library or framework works. Do NOT activate for local codebases already accessible on disk or private repositories. --- # deepwiki-cli Skill deepwiki-cli provides AI-generated wiki documentation for GitHub repositories. Use the `deepwiki-cli` to query it directly — this keeps only the result text in Claude's context, avoiding MCP protocol overhead. ## When This Skill Activates - User references a GitHub repository by name (owner/repo format) - User asks how a library or framework works - User needs to understand a codebase they haven't read locally - User asks architecture or API questions about an open-source project ## How to Use Run via `Bash` tool: ```bash # Ask a question about a repository deepwiki-cli ask <owner/repo> "<question>" # List wiki topics for a repository deepwiki-cli structure <owner/repo> # Read full wiki contents deepwiki-cli read <owner/repo> ``` ## Examples ```bash deepwiki-cli ask facebook/react "How does the reconciler work?" deepwiki-cli ask vercel/next.js "What is the App Router architecture?" deepwiki-cli structure rust-lang/rust deepwiki-cli read tokio-rs/tokio ``` ## Prerequisites The `deepwiki-cli` binary must be installed: ```bash cargo install deepwiki-cli ``` If the binary is not found, inform the user to install it first. ## When NOT to Use - Repository is already cloned locally — use Glob/Grep/Read tools directly - Repository is private — deepwiki-cli only works with public repositories - User is asking about their own code in the current working directory ## Error Handling If `deepwiki-cli` is not installed or a command fails: 1. Check if the binary exists: `which deepwiki-cli` 2. If not found, tell the user to install: `cargo install deepwiki-cli` 3. If the repository is not found, verify the owner/repo
