## What it does

The skill launches the Plannotator code review UI by running `PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=kiro-cli plannotator review`. You can supply a PR address, a target directory, or filter changes using `--base <ref>` and `--diff-type <type>`. The diff inspection supports both `session-only` and `git-only` modes.

Model invocation is disabled via `disable-model-invocation: true`. When a review session closes with no comments, the agent reports this in one line and stops right away. An empty closure never counts as approval.

## When to use it
- inspect pull request diffs inside a browser interface
- isolate and review a single layer of a stacked branch with `--base`
- pass browser-based review feedback directly to the agent
- halt execution automatically when a review closes without feedback

## Example prompts
- Open Plannotator review for the current session
- Review changes against base branch main
- Run Plannotator review on ../feature-worktree

# Plannotator Review (Kiro)

Run:

```bash
PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=kiro-cli plannotator review
```

You may append one directory or PR URL:

```bash
PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=kiro-cli plannotator review <pr-url>
PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=kiro-cli plannotator review ../feature-worktree
```

Directory paths are relative to the current session or absolute. Quote paths containing spaces. Feedback names the directory where changes belong.

Or open the session against a specific base / diff mode (session-only, git-only; for a stacked branch, `--base <the branch below yours>` reviews just that layer):

```bash
PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=kiro-cli plannotator review --base <ref> [--diff-type <type>]
```

If the session closes without feedback (the output is "Review session closed without feedback." or empty), acknowledge it in one sentence and stop. Do not begin any work: closing the session is not approval.
