Render a diagram-first, ordered-step HTML presentation that teaches how something works — or presents a technical-debt review, an areas-for-improvement pass, a set of recommendations, or a performance analysis. You investigate the code and author every word; a deterministic renderer turns your manifest into one self-contained page (vertical scroll by default, one button away from slide-by-slide). Self-contained output, no server, no CDN. Standalone — works in any repo, no other plugin required.
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
# walkthrough — a guided, diagram-first presentation of a subsystem or an analysis Renders a single, self-contained HTML file: a diagram up top, then an ordered sequence of narrated steps, each carrying one or more real code excerpts. No server, no CDN, opens correctly via `file://`. It defaults to vertical scroll and toggles, at runtime, to horizontal slide-by-slide navigation — the same generated file serves both, so nothing is regenerated to switch. **This is the sibling of `ide-explain`, not a replacement for it.** `ide-explain` reviews a *change* — a diff, an issue, a PR — as a file tree the owner navigates themselves. `walkthrough` presents a *narrative* about a topic, in an order you chose, when there is no diff to open it against. Reach for `ide-explain` when the subject is "what changed"; reach for this when the subject is "how this works", "what's wrong with this", or "what we should do about it". ## The core requirement: you author everything `generate-walkthrough.py` derives nothing. It never shells out to `git`, `gh`, or an AST tool; it validates your manifest and renders it, full stop. The diagram, the ordering, the narration, and …

How to install
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/walkthrough@sha256:5b01276bdb10a480The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.9b24bd0, 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.
