What format should I use to reference a repository?

You should always use the 'owner/repo' format, for example: 'facebook/react' or 'vercel/next.js'.

What is the best way to start exploring a new repository?

The recommended workflow is to use the read_wiki_structure tool first to see the available documentation overview before asking specific questions.

Do I need to clone the repository to use this skill?

No, DeepWiki works by accessing indexed documentation and metadata, so you can explore a repository without cloning it to your local machine.

Can I use DeepWiki with my private GitHub repositories?

No, the DeepWiki skill currently only supports public GitHub repositories that have been indexed on the DeepWiki platform.

Learning & Documentation

Explores and analyzes public GitHub repositories through AI-powered documentation indexing and interactive technical Q&A.

About

DeepWiki is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to help developers rapidly understand and navigate unfamiliar public GitHub repositories. By interfacing with DeepWiki's indexed documentation, the skill allows users to pull repository structures, read specific wiki topics, and ask complex architectural questions without needing to manually clone or browse the source code. It is particularly effective for onboarding to new open-source projects, researching library implementations, and getting high-level context before making code contributions.
