Build ordered, annotated tours of an unfamiliar codebase and keep the anchors from rotting. Use when onboarding an engineer, handing off a service, or explaining a subsystem before a review.
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 A guided path through a codebase, ordered so each stop makes the next one legible, and annotated with why the code is the way it is rather than what it does. The what is already on screen; the why is what takes a new engineer three weeks to reconstruct and what the person who knows it will lose in six months. Tours rot faster than any other documentation because they point at line numbers, so anchoring and validation are half this skill. ## When to use this skill - **Onboarding an engineer** onto a service where reading order determines whether week one is productive or archaeological - **Handing off ownership** of a system before its author changes team or leaves - **Explaining a subsystem** ahead of a design review, so reviewers arrive with shared context - **Documenting a surprising design** whose rationale lives only in a closed pull request - **Auditing an existing tour** that has silently rotted as files moved and functions were renamed - **Re-entering your own code** after six months away, which is functionally the same problem as onboarding ## Inputs the skill expects - The repository root, and which directories are vendored or generated …

How to install
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/code-tour@sha256:56c0e35289922a2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
