Navigate unfamiliar repositories or inspect complex pull requests by having an assistant construct a guided walkthrough. The bot maps critical execution flows, highlights key files, and attaches structured checkpoints where developers can leave granular feedback or inspect architecture decisions.

## Prompt to start with
