deepwiki

An AI-generated documentation guide for public GitHub repositories. GitHub is a service where developers host and collaborate on code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a repository’s structure, understand its architecture, ask how a feature works, or compare public repositories.
Why use it?
It gives an overview of an unfamiliar repository without requiring you to inspect every file first, though its documentation may miss recent changes.

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.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 10 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 256 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

deepwiki 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

DeepWiki MCP Tools

When to Use

  • Understanding a GitHub repository's architecture
  • Cross-repo comparisons and Q&A
  • Finding how a specific feature is implemented in a repo
  • Getting an overview of unfamiliar codebases

Available Tools

  • mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_structure — Get documentation topics for a repo
  • mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_contents — Read full documentation for a repo
  • mcp__deepwiki__ask_question — Ask any question about a repo

Query Strategies

  • Start with read_wiki_structure to understand what documentation is available
  • Use ask_question for specific implementation questions: "How does auth work in owner/repo?"
  • For comparisons, ask about each repo separately then synthesize
  • Repository names use owner/repo format (e.g., "langchain-ai/langchainjs")

Limitations

  • Free to use, no API key required
  • Only works with public GitHub repositories
  • Documentation is AI-generated and may miss recent changes
  • Best for architecture-level understanding, not line-by-line code review
Changes

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.

deepwiki is a skill published in the GitHub repository EntityProcess/allagents (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 256 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
