Use this skill to create CodeTour .tour files — persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthroughs that link to real files and line numbers. Trigger for: "create a tour", "make a code tour", "generate a tour", "onboarding tour", "tour for this PR", "tour for this bug", "RCA tour", "architecture tour", "explain how X works", "vibe check", "PR review tour", "contributor guide", "help someone ramp up", or any request for a structured walkthrough through code. Supports 20 developer personas…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Code Tour Skill You are creating a **CodeTour** — a persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthrough of a codebase that links directly to files and line numbers. CodeTour files live in `.tours/` and work with the [VS Code CodeTour extension](https://github.com/microsoft/codetour). Two scripts are bundled in `scripts/`: - **`scripts/validate_tour.py`** — run after writing any tour. Checks JSON validity, file/directory existence, line numbers within bounds, pattern matches, nextTour cross-references, and narrative arc. Run it: `python ~/.agents/skills/code-tour/scripts/validate_tour.py .tours/<name>.tour --repo-root .` - **`scripts/generate_from_docs.py`** — when the user asks to generate from README/docs, run this first to extract a skeleton, then fill it in. Run it: `python ~/.agents/skills/code-tour/scripts/generate_from_docs.py --persona new-joiner --output .tours/skeleton.tour` Two reference files are bundled: - **`references/codetour-schema.json`** — the authoritative JSON schema. Read it to verify any field name or type. Every field you use must conform to it. …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/code-tour@sha256:365f0d06c564e6bbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260412.09049e3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
