Tips
- Start with
read_wiki_structure to see available topics before diving into full contents.
ask_question supports up to 10 repos at once for cross-project comparisons.- Use
ask_question for targeted queries — it's faster than reading full wiki contents.
- Works with any public GitHub repository.
- Responses are AI-generated and can hallucinate, especially on small/obscure repos. Always verify key claims against actual source code (use
/repo-cache to clone and read).
