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.

Use when user says "comment on this", "leave comments on", "give feedback on", or asks for feedback on a draft.

A granular alternative to rewrites that lets users review feedback incrementally without losing their voice.
Comment Mode
Generate highlighted HTML with click-to-reveal comments for granular feedback on text. Alternative to rewrites—user keeps their voice, reviews feedback incrementally.
When to Use
- User says: "comment on this", "leave comments on", "give feedback on"
- User pastes text and asks for feedback/critique
- User wants targeted feedback without a full rewrite
Clarify Before Commenting
Use AskUserQuestion to clarify scope when the request is ambiguous. Avoid over-commenting (overwhelming) or under-commenting (missing the point).
Clarify when:
- No lens specified → ask what angle they want
- Long document → ask if they want full coverage or just key sections
- Unclear audience → ask who the recipient is (affects POV comments)
Skip clarification when:
- Lens is explicit ("comment on word choice only")
- Document is short (<500 words)
- Context is obvious from conversation
Example clarification:
User: "comment on this"
[long doc, no lens specified]
→ Use AskUserQuestion:
"What should I focus on?"
Options:
- "Editor feedback (structure, clarity, word choice)"
- "Recipient POV (how [person] would react)"
- "Specific angle (tell me what)"
Lenses
| Lens | Color | Comment style |
|---|---|---|
| Editor | Yellow (#fff3cd) | observations, suggestions: "weak opener", "add proof here" |
| POV (as person) | Blue (#e3f2fd) | reactions from that person's perspective: "i know this already", "legal would freak out" |
| Focused | Yellow | specific angle only: "word choice", "tone", "weak arguments" |
Comment Style
- Always lowercase
- Short (5-15 words)
- Smart about type: observations when noting, suggestions when alternatives help, reactions when simulating POV
- Only comment where there's something worth saying—sparse beats exhaustive
Output Rules
DO:
- Write to
_private/views/{name}-comments-temp.html - Open with
open _private/views/{name}-comments-temp.html - Use highlight colors matching the lens
- Keep comments sparse and high-signal
DO NOT:
- Comment on everything—only where there's an obvious edit or insight
- Over-explain in comments—keep them punchy
- Mix lenses in one output—pick one and stick to it

Color Reference
Editor lens (yellow):
.highlight { background: #fff3cd; border-bottom: 2px solid #ffc107; }
.highlight:hover, .highlight.active { background: #ffe69c; }
.comment { background: #1a1a1a; }
POV lens (blue):
.highlight { background: #e3f2fd; border-bottom: 2px solid #2196f3; }
.highlight:hover, .highlight.active { background: #bbdefb; }
.comment { background: #0052cc; }
Workflow
- User pastes text + asks for comments
- If ambiguous: Use AskUserQuestion to clarify lens/scope
- Read text, identify key phrases worth commenting on (sparse, high-signal)
- Generate HTML with highlights and
data-commentattributes - Write to
_private/views/{name}-comments-temp.html - Run
open _private/views/{name}-comments-temp.html
Examples
Editor lens:
User: "comment on this, focus on word choice"
→ Yellow highlights, suggestions like "vague, try 'specifically'" or "jargon, simplify"
POV lens:
User: "comment on this as brian would react"
→ Blue highlights, reactions like "i already know this" or "legal would push back here"
Focused lens:
User: "leave comments on this, only flag weak arguments"
→ Yellow highlights on weak claims, comments like "needs evidence" or "assumes too much"
Sparse/sharp lens:
User: "comment only where there's an obvious fix"
→ Minimal highlights, only typos, missing words, or clear improvements
