| description | Open markdown documents in Penpal for collaborative review. Use when you want a human to review a document, plan, or research artifact. |
To open a document in the Penpal desktop app for human review, run the CLI command via Bash:
penpal open <path>...
This launches the Penpal app if needed, adds the file to the project, and navigates to it. You can pass multiple paths to open several files at once.
Use this when you've written or updated a document (research, plan, design doc, etc.) and want a human to review it and leave comments.
Requirements-driven development framework. Use when setting up product/engineering requirements documents, checking traceability between requirements and code, verifying document consistency, or working on code in a repo that contains ANCHORS.md files (load the skill to understand the requirements context before making changes).
Monitor and respond to penpal document review comments on markdown files in thoughts/ directories.
