This Skill helps users explain code or analyze text by walking through files inside their editor, showing changes or explanations one file at a time, with optional line-number references for clarity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Walk through each file in the editor, pausing for user input before moving to the next file or line.
  • Support multiple editors by providing editor-specific commands to open files at specific lines.
  • Ideal for code walkthroughs, tutorials, onboarding, debugging sessions, and collaborative code reviews.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I walk through code step by step in my editor?

Walk through code by specifying the file path and optional line number in your editor. The Skill opens files at precise locations in VSCode, PyCharm, IntelliJ, Zed, or Vim/Neovim, letting you pause and explain each section before moving forward.

Can I use code walkthroughs for debugging sessions?

Yes, code walkthroughs work well for debugging. Step through your code file line by line in your editor, pinpointing where issues occur and explaining each section to isolate problems.

Which editors does stepping through code support?

Code stepping supports VSCode, PyCharm, IntelliJ, Zed, and Vim/Neovim. Each editor receives the appropriate command to open your file at a specific line for precise navigation.

How do I reference specific line numbers when walking through code?

Specify the line number when initiating the walkthrough—for example, 'walk through app.py at line 42.' Your editor opens directly to that location, making it easy to focus on relevant sections.

What's the best way to onboard new developers to a codebase?

Use code walkthroughs to guide developers through key files one section at a time. Pause at important lines to explain logic, making onboarding structured and easier to follow than reviewing entire files at once.

Can I use line-by-line code explanation for collaborative code reviews?

Yes, stepping through code in your editor supports collaborative review. Walk through files methodically with your team, pausing at each section to discuss logic and changes together.
