A tool that writes a Markdown summary of completed code changes for delivering a pull request. It collects information from the work plan, Git history, and test results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the end of a coding task to create a walkthrough.md file containing the work summary, decisions, requirements, file changes, and test status.
Why use it?
It removes the need to assemble the final change summary by hand. It also helps ensure the pull request records what changed and whether tests passed.

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 C, and why

aw-create-walkthrough scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Walkthrough Artifact

Generate .agent/{branch-name}/walkthrough.md — the final summary for PR delivery.


Prerequisites

Before invoking this skill:

  1. All tests must be passing
  2. Documentation must be updated
  3. plan.md must exist and have an up-to-date Progress Log
  4. You must be inside the worktree

Procedure

Step 1: Determine file location and gather information

Run this command to get the artifact path and gather git information — do NOT guess the branch name:

BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) && mkdir -p ".agent/${BRANCH}" && echo "Artifact path: .agent/${BRANCH}/walkthrough.md" && echo "---" && git diff --stat main...HEAD && echo "---" && git log --oneline main...HEAD

From plan.md (read the file — must run in the same shell session as above, or re-assign BRANCH):

BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) && cat ".agent/${BRANCH}/plan.md"

Extract: Summary, Decisions, Requirements, File Changes table.

From test results:

Recall or re-run the test suite to confirm current status.

Step 2: Write walkthrough.md

Create the file at the path from Step 1 using the template below. Do NOT hardcode or guess the branch name.

Step 3: Present to user

After writing the file, output the walkthrough content directly in the conversation so the user sees it immediately.


Template

All timestamps MUST use full ISO 8601 with time: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ

created: { TIMESTAMP }
branch: { BRANCH }

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.
