SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When working on a project, you often need quick answers about how a GitHub repository works without reading the entire codebase. This Skill queries DeepWiki via MCP tools to research repository questions and returns concise, context-ready answers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Repository Identification: Infers the target GitHub repository from recent work context, or asks the user when it cannot be determined. - DeepWiki Question Answering: Uses the MCP DeepWiki ask_question tool to investigate the user's research topic against the repository's wiki. - Concise Summaries: Delivers a one-line explanation of findings so the result can be loaded into context without lengthy output. - Use Case: While debugging an unfamiliar open-source dependency, ask how its authentication flow works and get a one-line summary sourced from the repository's DeepWiki documentation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to use the deepwiki skill to investigate how a specific feature works in the current GitHub repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a GitHub repository with DeepWiki?

Provide a research question about the repository, and the skill identifies the target repo from your recent work context, then queries DeepWiki using the ask_question MCP tool. The result is returned as a concise one-line explanation.

What MCP tools does DeepWiki repository research use?

It uses three MCP DeepWiki tools: ask_question for querying the wiki, read_wiki_contents for reading specific pages, and read_wiki_structure for viewing the wiki layout. These are declared in the skill's allowed-tools list.

What happens if no research topic is provided?

The skill stops and asks what you want to investigate. Empty input triggers an interruption prompt rather than a guess, so you must supply a concrete research question.

Can DeepWiki research work if the repository cannot be identified?

No, the skill first tries to infer the GitHub repository from recent work and the question content. If identification fails, it asks the user to specify the repository before proceeding.

Why does DeepWiki research return only a one-line summary?

The skill's purpose is to load findings into context efficiently, so it condenses DeepWiki results into a single-line explanation. Long detailed answers are intentionally avoided per the skill instructions.
