Can Dig access private repositories?

Dig functions by cloning repositories to a local directory; if your local environment has the necessary Git permissions and SSH keys, it can clone and analyze private repos.

Why use Dig instead of standard web documentation?

Dig allows Claude to see the actual implementation, edge cases, and internal tests, providing more depth than static docs—especially for undocumented or newly released features.

How does Dig find the correct repository for a library?

Dig searches common package registries like NPM and PyPI or uses import paths to identify and clone the official source repository, typically from GitHub.

Does it re-clone the library every time I ask a question?

No, Dig first checks a common local directory for the library. If the source code is already available, it skips the cloning step to provide faster answers.

学習とドキュメンテーション

Explores library source code and documentation to provide deep technical insights and accurate API usage guidance.

The Dig skill empowers Claude to go beyond its training data by actively fetching and analyzing the source code of any library or package. By cloning repositories and utilizing specialized research agents to traverse files, READMEs, and test suites, it ensures the AI provides precise, up-to-date information on APIs, implementation patterns, and unfamiliar codebase structures directly from the source of truth.
