Track Changes

Review CriticMarkup suggestions in an Obsidian side panel. Accept, reject, or reply — straight back into the markdown, no sidecar state.

Intended for AI-assisted review: the agent leaves {++…++}, {--…--}, {~~old~>new~~}, {>>comment<<}, {==highlight==} in your notes, you review them here. A sixth mark, {=+…+=}, flags AI-inserted text with a subtle rainbow highlight — visual only, no review card.

docs/SKILL.md is a starting-point reviewer skill you can hand your agent.

Features

• All five CriticMarkup forms with inline styling and a side-panel card per mark, plus {=+…+=} AI-added-text marks (rainbow, visual-only)
• Threaded comments (adjacent {>>…<<} blocks), multi-author colors
• Per-mark metadata — author="…" date="…" prefixes on any mark drive the author colors and dates
• Accept / reject per mark, reply inline, delete per message or thread
• Finalize for publish — resolves all remaining markup in one pass
• Reading mode: accepted preview or raw side-by-side
• Code blocks left alone

Interaction

• Click a mark in Live Preview to edit in place — the raw markup is exposed, the color stays.
• ⌘/Ctrl-click a mark (or set Click highlighted text to open in panel) opens the side panel instead.
• Click a panel card to jump the editor to its chip.
• Source Mode shows raw markup verbatim.

Commands

• Open review panel
• Finalize for publish — accept additions, drop deletions and comments, etc.
