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-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Common Workflows

Research a Library

# Get structure first
curl -s "https://api.deepwiki.com/wiki/xtermjs/xterm.js/structure" | jq '.topics[]'

# Then ask specific questions
curl -s -X POST "https://api.deepwiki.com/wiki/xtermjs/xterm.js/ask" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question": "How to implement custom key handling?"}'

Understand VS Code Patterns

curl -s -X POST "https://api.deepwiki.com/wiki/microsoft/vscode/ask" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question": "How are WebView panels implemented?"}'

Explore Repository Architecture

curl -s -X POST "https://api.deepwiki.com/wiki/anthropics/claude-code/ask" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question": "What is the overall architecture?"}'

Response Processing

| jq '.answer'

# Get with sources
| jq '{answer, sources}'

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.
