annotate

Process and apply user annotations from Design Mode. Use when the user says 'apply annotations', 'process my design comments', 'fix those', 'apply my changes', 'do what I noted', 'apply design feedback', or when the auto-read hook detects pending annotations.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by harshkedia177 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Annotate AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/harshkedia177/design-mode/tree/main/plugin/skills/annotate
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/harshkedia177/design-mode.git /tmp/design-mode
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-mode/plugin/skills/annotate .claude/skills/annotate

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Annotate in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Annotate on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Annotate is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Annotate — Process and Apply Design Annotations

Read all annotations from the Design Mode overlay, interpret the user's intent for each one, and apply the changes to the actual source code.

Read Annotations

Use mcp__design-mode__read_annotations to get all annotations with full element data (styles, box model, source info, comments).

Present a summary: how many annotations, brief list of each.

Process Each Annotation

1. Locate the Source File

Follow the priority order in ../references/source-lookup.md to find the element's source file.

2. Interpret the Comment

Parse annotations into actionable changes:

Style changes: "bigger", "red", "more padding" → CSS modifications
Content changes: "change text to X" → HTML/JSX text changes
Structural: "move above", "wrap in container" → DOM restructuring
Removal: "remove this", "hide" → remove or display:none
Questions: "why is this here?" → explain, don't modify

3. Apply the Change

Use Edit tool to modify the source file
Follow ../references/commit-to-source.md to match the project's styling approach
For each change, explain what was done and why

4. Verify

Take a screenshot with mcp__design-mode__screenshot to show results
Compare with the annotations — do the changes match intent?
Report which annotations were applied and which need clarification

Batch Processing

Group annotations by source file and apply all changes in a single pass per file.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Annotate AI skill do?

Why use Annotate on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Annotate is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Annotate in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/harshkedia177/design-mode/tree/main/plugin/skills/annotate. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Annotate?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Annotate?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Annotate with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Annotate AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by harshkedia177. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
