# Code Tour
Create **CodeTour** files — persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthroughs of a codebase that link directly to files and line numbers. CodeTour files live in `.tours/` and work with the [VS Code CodeTour extension](https://github.com/microsoft/codetour).
## Overview
A great tour is a **narrative** — a story told to a specific person about what matters, why it matters, and what to do next. Only create `.tour` JSON files. Never modify source code.
## When to Use This Skill
- User asks to create a code tour, onboarding tour, or architecture walkthrough
- User says "tour for this PR", "explain how X works", "vibe check", "RCA tour"
- User wants a contributor guide, security review, or bug investigation walkthrough
- Any request for a structured walkthrough with file/line anchors
