walkthrough

walkthrough is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step procedure for work that only a person can do, such as entering credentials, approving a dashboard action, or granting physical access. It first separates those steps from inspection and coding the agent can perform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare human instructions for setup, consent, deployment cutovers, or other irreversible actions. The procedure is based on the repository and its actual configuration.
Why use it?
It avoids asking people to run large unexplained commands or repeat work the agent can do. It also shows exactly what permission, knowledge, or approval is missing.

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

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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (templates/walkthrough.py, templates/walkthrough.sh, tests/test_walkthrough.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Walkthrough

Turn unavoidable human work into a sourced, executable procedure. Keep agent-doable inspection, configuration and coding with the agent. A missing permission is not permission to ask the human to run a large opaque script.

1. Establish the boundary and source map

Inspect the actual repository before asking the human for facts it contains: setup documentation, example environment files, config loaders and their precedence, package scripts, deployment config and active CI workflows. Record each required setup key and each actual CI secrets.*/vars.* use with its file/line or authoritative documentation source. Dynamic names remain unresolved until their construction is traced. Do not infer that every CI key needs a local dotenv entry or vice versa.

Separate agent work from human-only work and identify the exact missing authority, physical access, private dashboard consent or knowledge for every human stage. If nothing requires a human, finish with the ordinary agent workflow instead; do not generate a ceremony. No installation, account creation, Git changes, remote writes or credential access is implied by invoking this skill.

Complete when: every requested operation is either agent-owned with a concrete action, a justified human stage, or an explicit blocked item; every captured value has an actual name, source, destination and consumer. Ask only for remaining human-held information, never for secrets in chat.

2. Agree the procedure

Show the ordered stages, their dependency order, public source pointers, secret/public classification, required/optional status and destination. For each stage distinguish: observation, reversible write, irreversible action, or human attestation. Show irreversible consequences and recovery limits before approval. Retain unknown dashboard navigation as unknown UI; use current authoritative docs or a human observation to resolve it, rather than inventing menu names. A known URL is not proof that its current UI is known.

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.

walkthrough is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mathews-Tom/armory (337 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,257 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-19.
