The last entry in this list I guess should end in 步 rather than 部 - and it's missing its definition. I wasn't able to find a definition online. Should this have a similar meaning to 走一步算一步 / 走一步看一步, i.e. take things a step at a time? Or is the intended meaning something different (maybe report clearly every step).

The following is extracted from the book 香港粵語慣用語研究 by 曾子凡 about how to translate the Cantonese phrase “见步行步”。
译为 “走一步看一步”、“走一步是一步”、“走一步算一步”都很呆板，不口语化。如果译为“走一步说一步”、“走哪儿说哪儿”或“走着瞧”就顺口、地道得多了。

Then from http://www.2abc8.com/new/28963/,
“Play（it）by ear”原是音乐用语，指某人不用乐谱，仅凭听过的记忆就可弹奏乐曲。由此意引申，“play（it）by ear”强调事件的“即兴”成分，没有计划、依据当时情况而行事，很有着“走着瞧，走一步说一步”的味道。

Based on both of those it seems pretty clear that the meaning is the "take things a step at a time". I've added this to the word and will email the Skritter team for the 部 to be changed to 步。

I just dug out this textbook and can confirm that the phrase should be 走一步說一步. I've edited the list to include the correct vocabulary entry.
