# agentation-watch

> Hands-free annotation processor. Watches for Agentation annotations via MCP, reads the referenced code, fixes issues, and resolves annotations automatically. Use when the user says "watch for annotations," "fix annotations," "hands-free mode," "fixer loop," or wants an agent to autonomously process design feedback from the Agentation toolbar.

# Agentation Watch (Hands-Free Fixer)

Process Agentation annotations in real-time: watch for new annotations, read the referenced code, fix the issue, and resolve the annotation with a summary.

## Preflight

Before entering the loop, verify the MCP server is connected and has active sessions:

1. Call `agentation_list_sessions` — if empty, the toolbar isn't connected. Tell the user to open a page with `<Agentation endpoint="http://localhost:4747" />` in their browser.
2. Call `agentation_get_all_pending` — process any existing annotations before entering the watch loop.

## The Watch Loop

```
while true:
  1. Call agentation_watch_annotations (blocks until annotations arrive)
     - Default timeout: 120s, batch window: 10s
     - Pass sessionId to watch a specific page, or omit to watch all pages

  2. For each annotation in the batch:
     a. Call agentation_acknowledge(annotationId) — marks it as "seen"

     b. Parse the annotation context:
        - comment: What the user wants changed
        - intent: "fix" | "change" | "question" | "approve"
        - severity: "blocking" | "important" | "suggestion"
        - elementPath: CSS selector to find the element
        - reactComponents: Component tree path (e.g., "App > Dashboard > Button")
        - kind: "feedback" | "placement" | "rearrange" (v3.0+)
        - element: HTML tag name
        - cssClasses: Classes on the element
        - url: Page URL (maps to a route)

     c. Locate the code:
        - Use reactComponents to find the source file (grep for component name)
        - Use the URL path to find the page file (map route to app/ directory)
        - Use cssClasses to find Tailwind classes in the component
        - Use elementPath as a fallback for identifying the DOM structure

     d. Apply the fix:
        - For intent "fix": Fix the bug described in the comment
        - For intent "change": Implement the requested change
        - For intent "question": Call agentation_reply with the answer (don't resolve)
        - For intent "approve": Call agentation_resolve with "Acknowledged"
        - For kind "placement": See agentation-layout skill
        - For kind "rearrange": See agentation-layout skill

     e. Call agentation_resolve(annotationId, summary)
        - Summary should be 1-2 sentences: what file was changed and what was done
        - Example: "Updated Button component in src/components/ui/Button.tsx — changed bg-blue-500 to bg-primary for design system compliance"

  3. Loop back to step 1
```

## Resolving vs Dismissing

- **Resolve** (`agentation_resolve`): You fixed or addressed the annotation. Include a summary.
- **Dismiss** (`agentation_dismiss`): The annotation doesn't apply or can't be fixed. Include a reason.
- **Reply** (`agentation_reply`): For questions — add a message to the thread without closing.

Only resolve annotations you actually fixed. If you can't find the code or the fix is ambiguous, reply asking for clarification instead of guessing.

## Code Location Strategy

Annotations contain multiple signals. Use them in this priority order:

1. **reactComponents** — Most reliable. Grep for the component name:
   ```
   grep -r "function ComponentName\|const ComponentName" frontend/src/
   ```

2. **URL path** — Maps directly to app router file:
   - `/67/budget` → `frontend/src/app/(main)/[projectId]/budget/`
   - `/settings` → `frontend/src/app/(main)/settings/` or `frontend/src/app/(admin)/settings/`

3. **cssClasses** — Search for the exact class combination:
   ```
   grep -r "className.*specific-class" frontend/src/
   ```

4. **elementPath** — CSS selector chain gives structural hints:
   - `main > div > form > button.submit-btn` suggests a form component

## Design System Awareness

When fixing UI annotations in this project, follow the design system:
- Never hardcode colors — use semantic tokens (`bg-primary`, `text-foreground`, etc.)
- Never use `<button>` — use `<Button>` from `@/components/ui/button`
- Never wrap content in card borders — use whitespace and typography
- Import from `@/components/ds` or `@/components/ui`
- Check `frontend/src/components/ds/GOLDEN-EXAMPLES.tsx` for patterns

## Handling Hot Reloads

When you edit code, the dev server hot-reloads. This can cause:
- The Agentation toolbar to re-render (annotations persist via MCP server)
- Page state to reset (forms clear, tabs reset)
- New sessions to appear in `agentation_list_sessions`

This is normal. The watch loop continues uninterrupted because it listens to the MCP server, not the browser.

## Example Session

```
> Watch for agentation annotations and fix each one

[Calling agentation_get_all_pending — 0 pending]
[Calling agentation_watch_annotations — blocking...]

[Batch received: 1 annotation]
  Annotation: "This button should be primary color, not blue-500"
  Element: button.bg-blue-500
  Component: SubmitButton in DashboardForm
  Intent: fix, Severity: important

[Acknowledging annotation...]
[Searching: grep -r "SubmitButton" frontend/src/]
[Found: frontend/src/components/domain/dashboard/DashboardForm.tsx:45]
[Reading file, finding bg-blue-500...]
[Editing: bg-blue-500 → bg-primary]
[Resolving: "Fixed SubmitButton in DashboardForm.tsx — replaced bg-blue-500 with bg-primary token"]

[Calling agentation_watch_annotations — blocking...]
```

## Tips

- Start this before the critic session so annotations are processed as they arrive
- Annotations queue up if the critic is faster — that's fine, process them in order
- For blocking-severity annotations, fix immediately. For suggestions, batch if practical.
- If multiple annotations target the same component, read them all before making changes
