What is Vibe Annotations

Vibe Annotations is a free, open-source Chrome extension designed specifically for developers working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf. It bridges the gap between visual feedback and code implementation by providing a seamless way to annotate UI elements directly in the browser. Unlike traditional feedback methods that require screenshots and manual explanations, Vibe Annotations enables developers to click and comment on any element while providing AI agents with precise context including DOM structure, styles, and specific instructions.

Key Features of Vibe Annotations

Vibe Annotations is a visual annotation tool that allows developers to provide feedback on website elements directly through a Chrome extension. It enables users to drop visual annotations on any element across multiple pages and automatically sends these annotations to AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf) for implementation. The tool operates locally, requires no account setup, and streamlines the feedback workflow between visual design and code implementation.
Visual Element Inspector: Click-and-annotate functionality that captures exact context including DOM structure, styles, and zoned screenshots for precise AI implementation
Multi-Page Annotation Support: Ability to add up to 200 annotations across multiple pages and routes, processing all feedback in a single AI session
Local-First Architecture: Works on localhost and local files with complete privacy, ensuring all data stays on the user's machine without cloud storage or tracking
Universal AI Integration: Compatible with multiple AI coding agents through MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, requiring minimal setup

Use Cases of Vibe Annotations

Frontend Development: Developers can quickly annotate UI issues and let AI implement fixes across multiple pages of web applications
Design-to-Code Implementation: Designers can provide visual feedback on prototypes and have AI automatically translate their annotations into code changes
Collaborative Code Review: Teams can mark up and document needed changes across an application, streamlining the review and implementation process

Pros

No account or subscription required - completely free and open source
Privacy-focused with local-only data storage
Simple setup process with minimal configuration needed

Cons

Limited to Chromium-based browsers
Requires local server setup for operation
Maximum limit of 200 annotations per session
