What format should I use to specify a repository?

You should provide the repository in the standard 'owner/repo' format, such as 'facebook/react' or 'microsoft/vscode'.

What is the Deepwiki Research skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that allows for in-depth investigation of GitHub repositories using Deepwiki MCP and source code verification via the GitHub CLI.

Can I use this for private repositories?

Yes, you can research private repositories by configuring your Deepwiki API key in the r5 plugin's .mcp.json configuration file.

Why does it start with reading the wiki structure?

Reading the curated wiki structure and content provides a more reliable architectural overview than simple search-based Q&A, which helps in identifying accurate file paths and data flows.

How does it verify the information found?

The skill does not rely solely on AI summaries; it actively uses the GitHub CLI to fetch and examine the actual source code to ensure the Deepwiki data is accurate and up-to-date.

Developer Tools

Researches and analyzes GitHub repository implementation details and codebase structures using Deepwiki MCP and source code verification.

This skill empowers developers to deeply understand any public or private GitHub repository by leveraging Deepwiki MCP to extract curated architectural insights and implementation patterns. It goes beyond simple code searches by analyzing internal workflows, data flows, and core functionalities, then cross-referencing those findings with actual source code via the GitHub CLI for maximum accuracy. It is an essential tool for developers needing to onboard quickly to new projects, debug complex upstream dependencies, or reverse-engineer specific features.
