Frequently asked questions about Herdr Annotate
What platforms are supported?
Full install: macOS and Linux. Lite install: macOS, Linux, and Windows. Both support remote SSH sessions.
How do I send annotations to my agent?
Select text, press prefix+a to comment, then press Send. Comments arrive as formatted feedback with line numbers and quoted text.
Can I annotate documents and specs, not just terminal output?
Yes. Use prefix+o to open a folder with a file tree, then review and annotate any markdown files the same way as terminal text.
Do I need to install anything for the Lite version?
No. The Lite version runs on Bun (TypeScript) and requires no download—it works over SSH and with `herdr --remote`.
