Create CodeTour files — persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthroughs of a codebase that link directly to files and line numbers. CodeTour files live in .tours/ and work with the VS Code CodeTour extension. A great tour is a narrative — a story told to a specific person about what matters, why it matters, and what to do next. Only create .tour JSON files. Never modify source code. User asks to create a code tour, onboarding tour, or architecture walkthrough User says "tour for this PR", "explain how X works", "vibe check", "RCA tour" User wants a contributor guide, security review, or bug investigation walkthrough Any request for a structured walkthrough with file/line anchors Before asking anything, explore the codebase: In parallel: list root directory, read README, check config files. Then: identify language(s), framework(s), project purpose. Map folder structure 1-2 levels deep. Find entry points — every path in the tour must be real. If the repo has fewer than 5 source files, create a quick-depth tour regardless of persona — there's not enough to warrant a deep one. One message should be enough. Infer persona, depth, and focus silently. | User says | Persona | Depth | |---------
