cli-web-codewiki wiki sections excalidraw/excalidraw --json

# Read just the overview section
cli-web-codewiki wiki section facebook/react "Overview" --json

JSON output

Add --json for structured output: {"success": true, "data": ...} on success, {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."} on failure. repos search data: [{slug, github_url, description, avatar_url, stars, updated_at}]. wiki get data: {repo, sections: [{title, level, description, content, code_refs}], section_count}. chat ask data: {answer, repo} where answer is markdown with links to source code.

Utilities

cli-web-codewiki doctor [--json] diagnoses local setup. cli-web-codewiki mcp-serve exposes the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

Prefer wiki sections + wiki section over wiki get — full wikis can be very large.
Wiki content is markdown with GitHub source links, useful to quote directly.
