At a glance

Research GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories using DeepWiki MCP server.

  • Works in 8 steps: Repository Analysis → Code Structure Understanding → Feature Investigation → …
  • Exploring unfamiliar codebases
  • SKILL.md covers MCP Server Setup, When to Use DeepWiki, Core Capabilities and Best Practices, plus 6 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls claude and python3; reaches mcp.deepwiki.com and mcp.devin.ai

What it does

Researching With Deepwiki is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Research GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories using DeepWiki MCP server. Use when exploring unfamiliar codebases, understanding project architecture, or asking questions about how a specific open-source project works. Provides AI-powered repo analysis and RAG-based Q&A about source code. NOT for fetching library API docs (use fetching-library-docs instead) or local files.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/verify.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Technical documentation and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Exploring unfamiliar codebases
  • Understanding project architecture
  • Asking questions about how a specific open-source project works

Example prompts

  • “/researching-with-deepwiki”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in YOUR_DEVIN_API_KEY

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Repository Analysis
  2. Code Structure Understanding
  3. Feature Investigation
  4. Architecture Visualization
  5. Be Specific with Questions
  6. Reference Specific Paths
  7. Compare Implementations
  8. Learn from Popular Projects

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.deepwiki.com
    • mcp.devin.ai

    Also links to:

    • deepwiki.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Researching With Deepwiki loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 239 words (~1,226 tokens).

“Research and understand codebases using the DeepWiki MCP server.”
