Instructions onlyResearch & Analysis
AI-generated overview

Queries public GitHub repository documentation through the DeepWiki CLI, returning tables of contents, wiki content, or AI answers.

What it does
This skill documents terminal commands for the DeepWiki CLI, which retrieves documentation for public GitHub repositories. It supports fetching a repository's table of contents, pulling full wiki content, and asking natural-language questions about one or up to ten repositories. Output can be plain text or raw JSON, with flags for quiet mode and disabling colors.
When to use it
Use it when you need to understand a library, framework, or dependency and want its documentation or an answer about how it works. It fits looking up docs, exploring a repository's structure, or comparing how multiple projects handle a topic.
Requirements
Node.js must be installed, and the commands run through npx, which requires network access to fetch and query the DeepWiki package and service. No scripts ship with the skill; it is instructions only.
