Ask questions about any public GitHub repo.

01What it is

DeepWiki (by Cognition, the team behind Devin) turns public GitHub repositories into queryable documentation. An agent can read a repo's generated wiki structure and contents, or just ask a question about the codebase and get a grounded answer — no clone, no indexing setup. Remote, free, and no auth or signup; private repos are covered by the separate Devin MCP.

Who it’s for: Developers who want an agent that understands unfamiliar codebases and libraries without cloning and crawling them first.
