What it does

Plannotator Tui is an agent skill from plannotator/plannotator-tui. Open a Markdown plan or document for the human to review and annotate in a Herdr pane; their feedback arrives as your next message. Use when you have written a plan, spec, or design document that needs human review before you act on it. Draft; not yet wired into an installer.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: Annotate Markdown in the terminal: select, comment, looks-good, delete; send the review to your agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You have written a plan
  • Design document that needs human review before you act on it

Example prompts

  • “/plannotator-tui”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Write the document to a file. Do not paste it into chat as well.
  2. Open it for review, from your own pane
  3. End your turn. Do not wait, poll, or read the pane. The review arrives as the next

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f35f70e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Plannotator Tui loads about 441 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~441

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

plannotator-tui: hand a document to the human for review

Only when HERDR_ENV=1 (you are running inside Herdr). Otherwise tell the human where the file is and ask them to review it.

  1. Write the document to a file. Do not paste it into chat as well.

  2. Open it for review, from your own pane:

    bash
    plannotator-tui herdr open docs/plans/auth.md

    plannotator-tui opens beside you (or wherever the user configured it), already knowing that feedback comes back to this pane.

  3. End your turn. Do not wait, poll, or read the pane. The review arrives as the next user message, as numbered feedback:

    # Annotations on docs/plans/auth.md
    
    ## Annotation 1 (line 12)
    Comment on: "Rotate the token on every…"
    > Rotation on every privilege change will log people out…

    Address every item, then continue.

When you list files you want the human to open, print them as file:// hyperlinks (OSC 8) so Ctrl-click in Herdr opens them in plannotator-tui:

bash
printf '\e]8;;file://%s\e\\%s\e]8;;\e\\\n' "$PWD/docs/plans/auth.md" "docs/plans/auth.md"

If plannotator-tui is not on PATH, the raw Herdr command is:

bash
herdr plugin pane open --plugin annotate --entrypoint doc --placement split \
  --direction right --target-pane "$HERDR_PANE_ID" --focus --cwd "$PWD" \
  --env PLANNOTATOR_TUI_FILE="$PWD/docs/plans/auth.md" --env PLANNOTATOR_TUI_DELIVER_TO="$HERDR_PANE_ID"
