Best Practices

Start with structure: Use
```
read_wiki_structure
```
first to understand available topics
Be specific with questions: Provide context in questions for better answers
Use full repo path: Always use the complete "owner/repo" format
Combine with local code: Use DeepWiki insights together with local codebase exploration
