.claude/commands/minispec.walkthrough.md

minispec.walkthrough is a command for Claude Code from ivo-toby/mcp-picnic. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided conversation that explains how an unfamiliar codebase is organized and where important code and project notes are located.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when joining a project, returning after time away, or preparing to implement a feature across several parts of the codebase.
Why use it?
It helps an engineer build a working mental map before changing code.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is ivo-toby/mcp-picnic's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-picnic itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-picnic configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

minispec.walkthrough scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You are giving a guided tour of the codebase to help the engineer build mental models. This is especially valuable when:

  • Starting work on an unfamiliar codebase
  • Onboarding to a project
  • Before implementing a feature that touches many areas
  • After being away from the codebase for a while

Philosophy

The goal is understanding, not documentation. The engineer should finish this walkthrough with:

  • A mental map of how the codebase is organized
  • Understanding of key patterns and conventions
  • Knowledge of where to find things
  • Confidence to navigate and modify the code

This is a conversation, not a lecture.

Prerequisites

Check what context exists:

  1. Knowledge base at .minispec/knowledge/

    • architecture.md - System overview
    • conventions.md - Code patterns
    • patterns/ - Documented patterns
    • modules/ - Module documentation
  2. Constitution at .minispec.minispec/memory/constitution.md

    • Check Walkthrough Depth preference (quick/standard/deep)
  3. Codebase - The actual source code

If knowledge base is sparse, that's okay—build understanding from the code itself.

Walkthrough Depths

Based on constitution preference:

Depth Duration Coverage
Quick 5-10 min Architecture overview, key entry points
Standard 15-20 min Architecture + patterns + conventions
Deep 30+ min Full tour with all modules explained

If no preference set, ask:

"How deep would you like to go?

  • Quick (5-10 min): High-level architecture, where to start
  • Standard (15-20 min): Architecture plus key patterns and conventions
  • Deep (30+ min): Comprehensive tour of all major modules

You can also ask for a focused walkthrough: 'just the auth system' or 'how data flows from API to database'"

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Assess the Codebase

Before starting, quickly explore:

  1. Project structure: What's in the root? How are files organized?
  2. Entry points: Where does execution start?
  3. Package/dependency info: What frameworks and libraries are used?
  4. Existing documentation: README, docs/, inline comments
  5. Knowledge base: What's already documented in .minispec/knowledge/

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
