What it does

MCP Deepwiki is an agent skill from aahl/skills. Skills for accessing and searching docs in DeepWiki/GitHub’s public code repositories can help users understand open-source project source codes, and users can also ask questions directly about the code docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: AAHL's Agent Skills. 汇集了多种实用的智能体技能，涵盖Home Assistant智能家居控制、微软Edge TTS和智谱GLM-TTS文本转语音、DuckDuckGo搜索、DeepWiki文档检索、加密货币行情、天气预报、Lark/飞书、影视搜索、商品比价等功能. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“Use the mcp-deepwiki skill to skill for accessing and searching docs in DeepWiki/GitHub’s public code repositories can help users understand…”

Requirements

Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 47edd62. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- mcp.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

MCP Deepwiki loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~607

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
