code-walkthrough
From the author
Walks a person through code changes one step at a time in conversation, starting at the entry point and following the flow that changes, showing a small chunk per step and explaining it in plain language. Defaults to the current branch's changes, and walks the code from the perspective of any context provided instead — a file, directory, symbol, pull request, plan, or ticket. Use when someone wants to be walked through, taught, paced through, or shown around code or a branch step by step, or to learn how a change works before reviewing or extending it. Stops after every step and waits, so the learner sets the pace. Paces through code that already exists and builds nothing — to build new work while being paced through it, use pairing. Does not produce a written overview to read alone — use code-overview. Does not review code quality — use code-review. Does not diagnose bugs — use investigate.

- code-overviewtestdouble/hanProduces a human-readable, progressive-disclosure overview of unfamiliar code or a pull request's changes — why it exists (the real problem it solves or goal it serves for the business or a user), and from there what it does, how it flows, and where to start — so you can get up to speed before working on or reviewing it. Use when you want to understand, get oriented in, make sense of, explain, or get up to speed on a chunk of code, a file, a directory, a symbol, or a PR's changes. Writes the overview to a scratch file and changes no code. Does not review code quality or raise findings — use code-review for auditing changes or post-code-review-to-pr for posting them. Does not produce durable feature or system documentation — use project-documentation. Does not assess architecture or structural risk — use architectural-analysis. Does not diagnose bugs or root-cause failures — use investigate. Does not pace a person through the code one step at a time in conversation — use code-walkthrough.Engineering★ 320
- pairingtestdouble/hanBuild work collaboratively in reviewable pieces, handing each piece back for review before starting the next, so the person stays in the lead and steers while the work happens instead of reviewing a finished result. Use when someone says to pair with them on something, asks to collaborate rather than direct, wants to review as it goes, or wants to guide the work piece by piece — on code, on a design decision, or on writing. For a test-first build it runs tdd, for restructuring it runs refactor, for an interface contract it runs design-an-api, and for plan work it runs iterative-plan-review or plan-implementation, each collaboratively; invoke any of those directly instead to run it straight through without pausing. Does not pace someone through code that already exists and builds nothing — use code-walkthrough. Does not explain, summarize, or research something instead of producing it — use code-overview or research.Testing★ 320
- review-walkthroughtrailofbits/skillsGenerates an interactive HTML walkthrough for reviewing code changes. Use only when explicitly called.Engineering★ 7.7K
- reviewdzhng/skillsCloseout pass on a finished substantive change — sequence refactor-clean (shape), code-review (diff), and write-docs (docs) so all three run, in the order where each feeds the next. Use after implementing a slice or feature and before calling it done or committing; when the user asks for a final review, a cleanup-and-document pass, or to "review everything." For a diff-only audit, reach code-review directly.Engineering★ 1.4K
- code-explainermohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsExplain what a piece of code does in plain English, at the depth the reader needs. Use when asked to explain code, walk through a function, understand an unfamiliar snippet, or onboard to a file. Produces a one-line summary, a step-by-step walkthrough, the non-obvious parts called out, and any bugs or smells spotted along the way.Engineering★ 1.5K
- code-reviewgetsentry/skillsPerform code reviews following Sentry engineering practices. Use when reviewing pull requests, examining code changes, or providing feedback on code quality. Covers security, performance, testing, and design review.OfficialEngineering★ 1.1K
