SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Codewalk helps you understand how a code path actually executes from a chosen entry point, so you can inspect real control flow, data shape changes, side effects, and load-bearing branches without guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deep execution tracing: Follows a single route, handler, CLI command, queue job, or UI action all the way to its leaves.
  • Clickable call-stack viewer: Produces a static browser-based artifact with layered nodes, invoked-line highlighting, and linked type definitions.
  • Decision support for code changes: Surfaces risks, deferred branches, data evolution, and architectural boundaries so you can decide what is safe to modify.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to trace a specific entry point in your repository and generate the interactive codewalk viewer for it.

Frequently Asked Questions about codewalk

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace code execution flow in an unfamiliar repository?▼

Code execution flow is traced from a chosen entry point—such as a route, handler, or CLI command—by recursively mapping the call stack to its leaves. This produces a static browser viewer with layered nodes and invoked-line highlighting.

What is the best way to visualize a call stack for a specific route handler?▼

Visualizing a call stack is done by generating a static, interactive browser artifact that maps a single code path. The viewer layers nodes, highlights invoked lines, and links type definitions to show how the handler executes to its leaves.

Can I trace UI actions and queue jobs without running the application?▼

Yes, UI actions and queue jobs can be traced without execution by analyzing the repository statically. The trace recursively follows the code path from the entry point, mapping deferred branches and data shape changes to a browser viewer.

Does code tracing regenerate traces automatically when the repository changes?▼

Yes, code tracing regenerates traces by default when repository changes occur while preserving previous diffs. This ensures the interactive viewer reflects current execution paths without losing historical comparisons for decision support.

How do I identify safe-to-modify branches and side effects in an unfamiliar codebase?▼

Safe-to-modify branches and side effects are identified by inspecting a generated execution trace that surfaces deferred branches, data evolution, and architectural boundaries. This reveals load-bearing code paths to guide modification decisions.
