DeepWiki - External Repository Query Tool

Query any public repository to answer questions about its architecture, patterns, APIs, and internals.

Setup

First, check if DeepWiki is available:

deepwiki --help

If the command is not found, install it:

npm install -g @seflless/deepwiki

Then validate the installation:

deepwiki --help

Usage

Read the --help output to understand the current CLI syntax and available options, then use it to send your query.

The --help output is the source of truth for command syntax — do not assume flags or arguments, always refer to it.

Guidelines

  • Be specific: Frame queries with enough context for a useful answer
  • One topic per query: Ask focused questions rather than broad ones
  • Use for external repos only: Do not use DeepWiki for the current working repository — use local tools (Grep, Read, Glob) instead
  • Summarize results: After receiving DeepWiki output, synthesize the answer for the user rather than dumping raw output
