About
code-tour is a Claude Code skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills that produces VS Code CodeTour `.tour` walkthrough files linked to actual repository paths and line anchors. Instead of static README tours, code-tour creates step-by-step narratives developers can play inside VS Code during onboarding, code reviews, or incident investigations. The output is a machine-readable tour definition that jumps between files, highlights symbols, and explains intent at each stop. Teams reach for code-tour when a repo has grown beyond what a single ARCHITECTURE.md can explain and reviewers need a reproducible path through unfamiliar modules. The skill fits documentation workstreams that stay synchronized with git history because tours reference live line numbers rather than screenshots alone.
- Produces only CodeTour JSON under `.tours/`—never edits application source
- Persona-targeted narratives with real file paths and line anchors
- Supports onboarding, architecture, PR review, vibe check, security, and RCA tour styles
- Core workflow: discover repo in parallel, map entry points, then author steps
- Compatible with the Microsoft VS Code CodeTour extension playback UX
