Fix What I Pointed At

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Fixing bugs a designer or PM flagged directly in the running app
• Starting a session on an app someone has been clicking through
• Resolving a vague report like that button there without knowing the file

Example prompts

• “I flagged a few things in the app. Pick them up and fix them.”
• “The spacing on that card is wrong. Check the marks and fix it at the source.”
• “Review the flagged marks, group the ones in the same file, and resolve each after verifying.”

Requirements

• The Reticle server and a running app, installed with npx @reticlehq/server init

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Read the marks. Group them if several point at the same file: one edit often answers three.
2. 2Open source.file at source.line. This is the whole point: no hunting for which component rendered that button.
3. 3Fix what the note asks for. If the note is ambiguous, the element label and its source usually disambiguate it. Ask the human only when…
4. 4Verify in the app, do not eyeball it. Re-drive the affected control with reticle_act_and_wait and name the consequence, or reticle_look {…
5. 5Resolve it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 178e5c0. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npx
  • curl

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

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • docs.reticle.sh

  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

Fix What I Pointed At loads about 878 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~110

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~878

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

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.

fix-what-i-pointed-at

description

Pick up the bugs a human flagged by pointing at them in the running app, each arriving with the element, the note they typed, and the source file and line. Use when the user says they marked or flagged something, when starting a session on an app someone has been clicking through, when a designer or PM has left feedback in the UI, or when the user describes a problem as "that button there" without saying which file.
