-description: Create CodeTour `.tour` files — persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthroughs with real file and line anchors. Use for onboarding tours, architecture walkthroughs, PR tours, RCA tours, and structured "explain how this works" requests.

-# Code Tour
-
-Create **CodeTour** `.tour` files for codebase walkthroughs that open directly to real files and line ranges. Tours live in `.tours/` and are meant for the CodeTour format, not ad hoc Markdown notes.
-
-A good tour is a narrative for a specific reader:
-- what they are looking at
-- why it matters
-- what path they should follow next
-
-Only create `.tour` JSON files. Do not modify source code as part of this skill.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Use this skill when:
-- the user asks for a code tour, onboarding tour, architecture walkthrough, or PR tour
-- the user says "explain how X works" and wants a reusable guided artifact
-- the user wants a ramp-up path for a new engineer or reviewer
-- the task is better served by a guided sequence than a flat summary
-
-Examples:
-- onboarding a new maintainer
-- architecture tour for one service or package
-- PR-review walk-through anchored to changed files
-- RCA tour showing the failure path
-- security review tour of trust boundaries and key checks
-
-## When NOT to Use
-
-| Instead of code-tour | Use |
-| --- | --- |
-| A one-off explanation in chat is enough | answer directly |
-| The user wants prose docs, not a `.tour` artifact | `documentation-lookup` or repo docs editing |
-| The task is implementation or refactoring | do the implementation work |
-| The task is broad codebase onboarding without a tour artifact | `codebase-onboarding` |
-
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Discover
-
-Explore the repo before writing anything:
-- README and package/app entry points
-- folder structure
-- relevant config files
-- the changed files if the tour is PR-focused
-
-Do not start writing steps before you understand the shape of the code.
-
-### 2. Infer the reader
-
-Decide the persona and depth from the request.
-
-| Request shape | Persona | Suggested depth |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| "onboarding", "new joiner" | `new-joiner` | 9-13 steps |
-| "quick tour", "vibe check" | `vibecoder` | 5-8 steps |
-| "architecture" | `architect` | 14-18 steps |
-| "tour this PR" | `pr-reviewer` | 7-11 steps |
-| "why did this break" | `rca-investigator` | 7-11 steps |
-| "security review" | `security-reviewer` | 7-11 steps |
-| "explain how this feature works" | `feature-explainer` | 7-11 steps |
-| "debug this path" | `bug-fixer` | 7-11 steps |
-
-### 3. Read and verify anchors
-
-Every file path and line anchor must be real:
-- confirm the file exists
-- confirm the line numbers are in range
-- if using a selection, verify the exact block
-- if the file is volatile, prefer a pattern-based anchor
-
-Never guess line numbers.
-
-### 4. Write the `.tour`
-
-Write to:
-
-```text
-.tours/<persona>-<focus>.tour
-```
-
-Keep the path deterministic and readable.
-
-### 5. Validate
-
-Before finishing:
-- every referenced path exists
-- every line or selection is valid
-- the first step is anchored to a real file or directory
-- the `ref` points at a branch or commit that actually has every file the tour references (see below)
-- the tour tells a coherent story rather than listing files
-
-## The `ref` Field
-
-`ref` ties the tour to a git branch or commit. It matters more than it looks: when `ref` is not the branch the reader has checked out, CodeTour opens each step's file from that revision in git, not from the files on disk. If a file is not in that revision, the step will not open — the reader sees *"The editor could not be opened because the file was not found"* even though the file is sitting right there. The tour and its comments still show, so the real cause is easy to miss.
-
-Pick `ref` by tour type:
-
-| Tour type | Set `ref` to |
-| --- | --- |
-| PR tour | the PR branch — never the base branch |
-| Onboarding / architecture | the branch the reader will be on (often `main`), or leave it out |
-| Not sure | leave `ref` out, so CodeTour reads files straight from disk |
-
-The PR case is the common trap: a PR usually adds new files, and new files do not exist on the base branch yet. Point `ref` at the base (e.g. `develop`) and every step on a new file fails to open.
-
-Before finishing, confirm each step's file actually exists at the `ref` you chose.
-
-## Step Types
-
-### Content
-
-Use sparingly, usually only for a closing step:
-
-```json
-{ "title": "Next Steps", "description": "You can now trace the request path end to end." }
-```
-
-Do not make the first step content-only.
-
-### Directory
-
-Use to orient the reader to a module:
-
-```json
-{ "directory": "src/services", "title": "Service Layer", "description": "The core orchestration logic lives here." }
-```
-
-### File + line
-
-This is the default step type:
-
-```json
-{ "file": "src/auth/middleware.ts", "line": 42, "title": "Auth Gate", "description": "Every protected request passes here first." }
-```
-
-### Selection
-
-Use when one code block matters more than the whole file:
-
-```json
-{
-  "file": "src/core/pipeline.ts",
-  "selection": {
-    "start": { "line": 15, "character": 0 },
-    "end": { "line": 34, "character": 0 }
-  },
-  "title": "Request Pipeline",
-  "description": "This block wires validation, auth, and downstream execution."
-}
-```
-
-### Pattern
-
-Use when exact lines may drift:
-
-```json
-{ "file": "src/app.ts", "pattern": "export default class App", "title": "Application Entry" }
-```
-
-### URI
-
-Use for PRs, issues, or docs when helpful:
-
-```json
-{ "uri": "https://github.com/org/repo/pull/456", "title": "The PR" }
-```
-
-## Writing Rule: SMIG
-
-Each description should answer:
-- **Situation**: what the reader is looking at
-- **Mechanism**: how it works
-- **Implication**: why it matters for this persona
-- **Gotcha**: what a smart reader might miss
-
-Keep descriptions compact, specific, and grounded in the actual code.
-
-## Narrative Shape
-
-Use this arc unless the task clearly needs something different:
-1. orientation
-2. module map
-3. core execution path
-4. edge case or gotcha
-5. closing / next move
-
-The tour should feel like a path, not an inventory.
-
-## Example
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://aka.ms/codetour-schema",
-  "title": "API Service Tour",
-  "description": "Walkthrough of the request path for the payments service.",
-  "ref": "main",
-  "steps": [
-    {
-      "directory": "src",
-      "title": "Source Root",
-      "description": "All runtime code for the service starts here."
-    },
-    {
-      "file": "src/server.ts",
-      "line": 12,
-      "title": "Entry Point",
-      "description": "The server boots here and wires middleware before any route is reached."
-    },
-    {
-      "file": "src/routes/payments.ts",
-      "line": 8,
-      "title": "Payment Routes",
-      "description": "Every payments request enters through this router before hitting service logic."
-    },
-    {
-      "title": "Next Steps",
-      "description": "You can now follow any payment request end to end with the main anchors in place."
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-| Anti-pattern | Fix |
-| --- | --- |
-| Flat file listing | Tell a story with dependency between steps |
-| Generic descriptions | Name the concrete code path or pattern |
-| Guessed anchors | Verify every file and line first |
-| Too many steps for a quick tour | Cut aggressively |
-| First step is content-only | Anchor the first step to a real file or directory |
-| Persona mismatch | Write for the actual reader, not a generic engineer |
-
-## Best Practices
-
-- keep step count proportional to repo size and persona depth
-- use directory steps for orientation, file steps for substance
-- for PR tours, cover changed files first
-- for monorepos, scope to the relevant packages instead of touring everything
-- close with what the reader can now do, not a recap
