ask

ask is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YoungjaeDev/my-claude-plugins. It costs 116 tokens per session (429 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for asking in-depth questions about a GitHub repository, a code project hosted on GitHub, using its generated documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate how a repository works, understand its architecture, trace an implementation, or ask focused questions about one or more repositories.
Why use it?
It helps explain a repository’s structure and implementation without requiring you to read every file first.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

ask 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

DeepWiki ask

Deep query a GitHub repository using DeepWiki's AI-powered documentation. Same workflow as the /deepwiki:ask slash command — this skill exposes it as a capability so the model can reach for it during conversational research.

  1. Restate the repository (owner/repo) and the question back to the user so the parse is auditable.
  2. Follow the four-phase procedure (structure → optional contents → ask → optional multi-query expansion).
  3. Return the answer in the documented output format.

See references/ask-procedure.md in this plugin's installed root for the full workflow, smart-query strategy, multi-repo patterns, and error handling table. Under Claude Code this resolves to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/ask-procedure.md; under Codex 0.135 (which does not export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT) the plugin cache directory exposes the same references/ subdirectory next to skills/ (~/.codex/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/deepwiki/<version>/references/). This reference is a plugin-root file (shared with the generate-llmstxt skill), so a skill-level install carries it only when the whole plugin is installed.

Requirements

  • DeepWiki MCP must be configured in the host runtime (mcp__deepwiki__* tools available). If absent, surface the setup link: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/.
  • Internet connection (queries the DeepWiki API).

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.
