annotate-source-files SKILL.md skillB

annotate-source-files from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/annotate-source-files@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Add PUT workflow annotations to source files using the correct language-specific comment prefix. Covers annotation syntax, skeleton generation via put_generate(), multiline annotations, .internal variables, and validation. Supports 30+ languages with automatic comment prefix detection. Use after analyzing a codebase and having an annotation plan, when adding workflow documentation to new or existing source files, or when documenting data pipelines, ETL processes, or multi-step computations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Annotate Source Files

Add PUT workflow annotations to source files so putior can extract structured workflow data and generate Mermaid diagrams.

## When to Use

- After analyzing a codebase with `analyze-codebase-workflow` and having an annotation plan
- Adding workflow documentation to new or existing source files
- Enriching auto-detected workflows with manual labels and connections
- Documenting data pipelines, ETL processes, or multi-step computations

## Inputs

- **Required**: Source files to annotate
- **Required**: Annotation plan or knowledge of the workflow steps
- **Optional**: Style preference: single-line or multiline (default: single-line)
- **Optional**: Whether to use `put_generate()` for skeleton generation (default: yes)

## Procedure

### Step 1: Determine Comment Prefix

Each language has a specific comment prefix for PUT annotations. Use `get_comment_prefix()` to find the correct one.

```r
library(putior)

# Common prefixes
get_comment_prefix("R")    # "#"
get_comment_prefix("py")   # "#"
get_comment_prefix("sql")  # "--"
get_comment_prefix("js")   # "//"
get_comment_prefix("ts")   # "//"
get_comment_prefix("go")   # "//"
get_comment_prefix("rs")   # "//"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/annotate-source-files@sha256:29f770ab4d00be65

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
