How does it handle different programming languages?

It is language-agnostic; it scans the repository structure and configuration files to infer the tech stack and module boundaries regardless of the primary language.

Does it support visual diagrams?

Deepwiki automatically includes Mermaid diagram blocks in the Markdown files to visualize architecture, modules, and data flows.

Can Deepwiki update documentation as the code changes?

Yes, it supports incremental updates. It tracks generation metadata in a GENERATION.md file to detect changes and add deltas while preserving existing content.

Where are the documentation files stored?

All generated content is stored within a `deepwiki/` directory at the root of your repository, including a dynamic INDEX.md and an assets folder for images.

Learning & Documentation

Generates and maintains a comprehensive, Markdown-based repository knowledge base including architecture diagrams and module maps.

About

Deepwiki is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to automate the creation of in-depth repository documentation. It scans your codebase to identify primary languages, entry points, and module boundaries, then generates a structured wiki under a dedicated directory. The skill produces high-quality Markdown pages for architecture, data flows, and dependencies, complete with Mermaid diagrams and source citations. It supports incremental updates and multi-language output, ensuring your project's internal documentation evolves alongside your code.
