    "incantation": "When reviewing a merge request, create a project-member-only note with `glab mr note create <mr-id> --message \"<message>\" --internal`. To add it to an existing discussion, include `--reply <discussion-id>`.",

      "--message <message> / -m: Comment or note body; if omitted, the command can open an editor or read input from stdin.",
      "--internal: Make the note visible only to project members. For replies, fails if the target thread is public; a reply to an internal thread is internal even without this flag.",
      "--reply <discussion-id>: Reply to an existing discussion instead of starting a new one. Accepts a full discussion ID or a unique prefix of at least 8 characters.",
      "Prerequisite: Install glab and authenticate to the GitLab instance. Personal access tokens require at least the api and write_repository scopes."
