DeepWiki: Understand Any Codebase
How I use DeepWiki to speed up real coding work
In this post, I break down how I use DeepWiki - my go-to tool for understanding unfamiliar codebases, spinning up dev environments, and generating context for coding agents like Claude and Cursor. Ask targeted questions like “Can you walk me through how the queue processor handles retries?”, “What’s the data flow during user signup?”, or “I want to implement feature X - where should I begin?”, and receive tailored explanations with direct links to the relevant functions. Task-based onboarding - provide a repository and a goal (“fix this open issue”), and receive a step-by-step path through the exact files, functions, and setup commands needed to contribute.
