deepwiki

Give your coding agent instant knowledge of any public GitHub repo.

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's post on DeepWiki and the increasing malleability of software.

Install the Claude Code skill so Claude can use DeepWiki directly on your behalf:

npx skills add https://github.com/seflless/deepwiki --skill deepwiki

Ask anything:

"How does the fiber reconciler work in facebook/react?"

"What's the architecture of oven-sh/bun?"

"Compare how facebook/react and vercel/next.js handle server components"

CLI

There's also a CLI if you want to use deepwiki directly.

npm install -g @seflless/deepwiki

Or use npx @seflless/deepwiki without installing.

deepwiki ask facebook/react "How does the fiber reconciler work?"
deepwiki wiki oven-sh/bun
deepwiki toc facebook/react
deepwiki wiki anthropics/claude-code --json > docs.json

Flags

| Flag | Description | | ------------- | ----------------- | | --json | Output raw JSON | | -q, --quiet | Suppress spinners | | --no-color | Disable colors |

How it works

deepwiki is a thin CLI wrapper around DeepWiki's MCP server. It sends JSON-RPC requests to DeepWiki's public API and formats the responses for terminal and agent consumption.
