# DeepWiki

> Get AI-powered explanations of code symbols with DeepWiki. Hover over functions, variables, and classes to understand unfamiliar code in your codebase.

We've implemented [Devin's DeepWiki feature](https://docs.devin.ai/work-with-devin/deepwiki) inside of the Windsurf Editor. Use it to get up to speed on unfamiliar parts of your codebase.

You can find the DeepWiki interface in the Primary Side Bar / Activity Bar.

To use DeepWiki, hover over a symbol in your codebase and press `Cmd+Shift+Click` to open detailed explanations of code symbols.

Unlike classical hover cards that just show basic type information, DeepWiki-powered hover explains functions, variables, and classes as you read through code.

You can send the DeepWiki explanation to Cascade as an `@-mention` by clicking the `⋮` button in the top right of the DeepWiki panel and selecting `Add to Cascade`.
