FAQPage Schema

How do I create guided code walkthroughs for onboarding new engineers?▼

Guided code walkthroughs for onboarding are created by generating CodeTour .tour JSON files that anchor to exact files and line ranges, delivering structured, repeatable tours stored in the .tours directory.

What is a CodeTour artifact and how does it help with architecture reviews?▼

A CodeTour artifact is a JSON file that opens to specific files and line ranges, providing a reproducible walkthrough to guide engineers through architecture reviews and reduce ramp time without modifying source code.

How do I document a pull request or root cause analysis tour in a complex codebase?▼

You document a PR tour or RCA tour by creating a .tour JSON file that anchors to real files and line ranges, enabling focused, repeatable explorations of the exact code changes or failure points without ad hoc notes.

Can I create code walkthroughs without modifying the actual source code?▼

Yes, you can create code walkthroughs without modifying source code because the tour creation process strictly prohibits altering the original files, instead storing all walkthrough data as JSON artifacts in the .tours directory.

What is the best way to ensure my code walkthroughs follow a standard format?▼

The best way to ensure standard code walkthroughs is to use the official CodeTour JSON format, which structures your tours as .tour files stored consistently under the .tours directory for repeatable explorations.
