bundles/ai-agents/skills/comment-mode/SKILL.md
Granular feedback on drafts without rewriting. Generates highlighted HTML with click-to-reveal inline comments. Use when user says "comment on this", "leave comments on", "give feedback on", or asks for feedback on a draft. Supports multiple lenses—editor feedback, POV simulation ("as brian would react"), or focused angles ("word choice only", "weak arguments"). A granular alternative to rewrites that lets users review feedback incrementally without losing their voice.
