project-annotation

Use this sub-skill for the interactive annotation workflow: creating projects, choosing the right task type, defining labels, adding members, assigning work, annotating examples, reviewing comments, cloning projects, and reading progress metrics.

Covers

• project creation and project-type selection
• label type creation, import, and deletion
• member creation, role changes, and member permissions
• example lists, assignments, comments, and annotation CRUD
• project cloning and progress/label-distribution metrics

Excludes

• dataset import/export file formats: use data-transfer
• auto-labeling template and mapping setup: use auto-labeling
• install, deployment, package build, and CLI startup: use setup-and-deploy

Typical path

1. Create the project with the right task type.
2. Define the labels and decide whether members may create label types.
3. Add members with the correct role for the annotation workflow.
4. Import or create examples, assign work if needed, and annotate.
5. Use comments, clone, and metrics to review progress or duplicate a project.
