Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/seflless/deepwiki/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/seflless/deepwikiWhat it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00561 | $0.00561 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00280 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00112 | $0.00112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
deepwiki AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
deepwiki
CLI wrapper around DeepWiki's MCP server. Monorepo with Bun workspaces.
Structure
packages/cli/ # @seflless/deepwiki — the CLI (TypeScript, Bun)
packages/website/ # Landing page (Vite, vanilla TS)
skills/deepwiki/ # Claude Code skill
docs/plans/ # Feature plans
Dev Commands
bun install # Install deps
bun deepwiki toc facebook/react # Run CLI from source (no build needed)
bun deepwiki ask oven-sh/bun "Q?" # All CLI args work after `bun deepwiki`
bun run --cwd packages/cli build # Build single JS bundle to dist/
bun test # Run all tests
bun run --cwd packages/website dev # Website dev server
Architecture
- MCP client (
packages/cli/src/client.ts): POST JSON-RPC 2.0 tohttps://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp, parse SSE responses - Commands (
packages/cli/src/commands/):toc.ts,wiki.ts,ask.ts— each calls client + formats output - CLI (
packages/cli/src/cli.ts): Commander.js routing, global flags, error handling - Entry (
packages/cli/src/index.ts): shebang + run - Build:
bun buildbundles to singledist/index.jswith#!/usr/bin/env nodeshebang
Conventions
- TypeScript strict mode, ESM throughout
- chalk for colors, ora for spinners (stderr only)
- Content to stdout, errors/spinners to stderr
- Exit code 1 = server/network error, 2 = usage error
- Commander.js for CLI framework
bun testfor testing, mock fetch (no live network calls in tests)npx @seflless/deepwikiis the primary user-facing invocation pattern
Known Issues
npx @seflless/deepwikifails withcommand not foundwhen run from inside the monorepo — npm resolves the local workspace instead of the registry. Usebun deepwikilocally. Works fine from any other directory.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
