# Use Plannotator with Kiro CLI

> Install Plannotator's Kiro CLI skills and example custom agent for manual document and code review.

The standard installer adds Kiro-specific review skills and an example custom agent when it detects `kiro-cli` or `~/.kiro`. The current setup uses manual skills rather than a transparent plan hook.

## Install

Run the [standard Plannotator installer](/open-source/start/installation). If you install Kiro later, rerun the installer.

The installer adds:

* `plannotator-review` and `plannotator-annotate` under `~/.kiro/skills`
* `plannotator-setup-goal` and `plannotator-visual-explainer` under `~/.kiro/skills`
* an example agent at `~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json`

An existing `~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json` is not overwritten.

The standard installer gives Kiro two normally optional skills: `plannotator-setup-goal` and `plannotator-visual-explainer`. It does not install `plannotator-compound` for Kiro. See [Install and Manage Plannotator Skills](/open-source/start/skills) for the complete matrix.

## Use the example agent

```bash theme={null}
kiro-cli chat --agent plannotator
```

The agent exposes the installed skills as `skill://` resources. You can add the same resources to your own Kiro custom agent instead.

Rerun the standard installer to update the managed Kiro skill copies. Your existing `~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json` remains unchanged.
