# Second opinion hints. Your marks decide.

> Every upload gets a free, type-aware checklist. Optional vision models can mark regions on the capture. Suggestions never override human marks or flip the review decision.

## The problem

Paste-into-chat critique often sounds decisive — and agents treat it that way. You need optional design hints that stay labeled as suggestions while humans remain the authority on approve / request-changes.

## How ReviseMy fits

On create_review, ReviseMy runs the free checklist immediately. If an Anthropic or OpenAI key is set on the server, vision can add dashed region hints after the response. Agents may also push findings via add_findings. You mark what matters; get_review returns work_packets with pins first and second_opinion as hints.

1. `create_review` runs the free checklist immediately.
2. With an Anthropic or OpenAI key, vision can add dashed region hints.
3. `add_findings` lets agents push suggestions before you open the link.
4. `get_review` returns your marks first; `second_opinion` stays hints.

## How second opinion works

- **Free checklist on every upload** — Type-aware heuristics for UI, website, email, and slides — hierarchy, contrast, CTAs, density, and more. No API key required.
- **Optional vision regions** — With ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY (or an OpenAI-compatible base URL), vision findings can carry an area and render as dashed markers on the screenshot.
- **Human marks stay authoritative** — Solid yellow marks are yours. Second opinion never auto-flips status. Overlaps enrich under related_pin — they do not invent a conflicting must-fix.
- **Agent subagent path** — Agents can call add_findings before you open the link. Those land with an Agent badge as suggestions — still not decisions.

## Checklist

- Human marks = intent (must-fix, nit, question, keep, …) exposed as work_packets.pins
- Findings = suggestions only (suggestion / a11y / polish)
- Checklist findings have no area; only vision findings may point at a region
- request_second_opinion re-runs checklist (+ vision when keyed)
- Open the craft chip on a review to see which public lenses apply for that type

## Questions

### Do I need an API key for second opinion?

Not for the free checklist — it runs on every upload. Vision region hints need your own Anthropic or OpenAI key on the server (BYOK). Optional REVISEMY_VISION_PROVIDER and OpenAI-compatible base URLs for Ollama and similar.

### Can second opinion approve a review?

No. Only you approve or request changes. Agents follow next_action from your decision and must treat second_opinion as hints.

### How do I refresh hints?

Use Refresh second opinion on the review page, or have the agent call request_second_opinion.

### Are these designers reviewing my UI?

No. ReviseMy distills public craft principles into checklist and vision hints. The craft chip and this page name the sources; nobody outside your loop is reviewing or endorsing your screenshots.
