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 Template

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-comment attributes 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
