# /walkthrough — guided code tours in IntelliJ

Turn a question about a codebase into a path through it: 5–12 ordered steps, each
anchored to a real `file:line`, walked step-by-step in IntelliJ. The user steps
forward and backward, and can ask a question on any step; you answer into that
step in place.
Use this instead of answering in terminal prose whenever the honest answer is
"here is the path through the code". No code is modified — this is a tool for
*understanding*, and in v1 you never edit files as part of a tour.
## Invocation
```
/walkthrough <question>
/walkthrough --diff <question>
/walkthrough --diff <ref>..HEAD <question>
```
- Plain form: a tour over existing code. Works for both "how does X work" and
"how would I add X" — the difference shows up in where the last steps land.
- `--diff` form: a tour over a change that already exists (uncommitted working
copy by default, or the given ref range). You narrate the change; you do not
make it.
## On every invocation: ensure the server is running
Run this once at the top of every invocation, before anything else:
```bash
if ! command -v python3 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
cat >&2 <<'EOF'
claude-annotate: python3 was not found on PATH.
