# Inline Edits Syntax

## Purpose

Human can add quick drafts and notes directly in article text using square brackets. Agents process these and integrate them into the final article.

## Syntax: `[text]`

Square brackets contain human-written content that needs processing:

```markdown
[claude use editing tool to add this. TODO: insert the correct tool name]
```

**Becomes:**
```markdown
Claude uses `str_replace` to append content.
```

The agent:
- Rewrites the text in article's tone and style
- Translates to English if needed
- Completes any TODO instructions inside
- Applies proper formatting
- Removes the brackets

## Examples

**Input:**
```markdown
[тут надо объяснить что файл создается в home директории. TODO: уточни точный путь]
```

**Output:**
```markdown
The file is created in Claude's home directory at `/home/claude/`.
```

---

**Input:**
```markdown
[this is important for understanding. the sandbox resets after timeout. TODO: check if 5 minutes is correct timeout]
```

**Output:**
```markdown
This is important to understand: the sandbox environment resets after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity.
```

---

**Input:**
```markdown
The key directories are:
[TODO: add table with paths and their descriptions]
```

**Output:**
```markdown
The key directories are:

| Path | Description |
|------|-------------|
| /home/claude/ | Working directory, volatile |
| /mnt/user-data/outputs/ | Persistent, visible in sidebar |
| /mnt/user-data/uploads/ | Your uploaded files |
```

## Command: /apply

For @writer:

```
/apply
```

**Action:**
1. Re-read entire `text.md`
2. Find all `[bracketed content]`
3. Process each: rewrite, translate, complete TODOs, format
4. Remove brackets
5. Log changes in `log-chat.md`

## Agent Responsibilities

| Agent | Role |
|-------|------|
| @writer | Process all bracketed content with `/apply` |
| @editor | **Verify no unprocessed brackets remain** — final text must be clean |
| Others | May process if within scope, or flag for @writer |

**Critical for @editor:** Before approving for publication, confirm the text contains zero `[brackets]`. Any remaining brackets = not ready for publish.
