# Plannotator Annotate

Use this skill when the user wants to annotate a document in Plannotator instead of reviewing it inline in chat.

Run for ordinary annotation/feedback:

```bash
plannotator annotate <path-or-url>
```

Run when the user asks to review, approve, accept, or gate a generated plan/spec/document:

```bash
plannotator annotate <path-or-url> --gate --json
```

Plain `annotate` has no **Approve** button; it only supports feedback or closing the session. Never promise an approval action unless `--gate` is present. `--json` only changes the output format and does not enable approval by itself.

Behavior:

1. Launch the command with Bash.
2. Wait for the browser review to finish.
3. If annotations are returned, address them directly.
4. If the session closes without feedback, say so briefly and continue.
5. In a `--gate` session, an approval may still carry notes — a `"decision": "approved"` result with a
   `"feedback"` field (without `--json`, an "Approved with Notes" message). Read those notes and carry them into subsequent work, but
   do not revise the document over them: they are guidance, not a change request.
6. If the command reports that the arguments could not be resolved to a file,
   URL, or folder, work out which target the user means and re-run the command
   yourself with that concrete path or URL.

Do not ask the user to paste a shell command into the chat. Run the command yourself.
