+`grind_annotated "YYYY-MM-DD"` marks the current file as having been manually annotated for `grind`.
+
+When the LibrarySuggestion framework is called with `caller := "grind"` (as happens when using
+`grind +suggestions`), theorems from grind-annotated files are excluded from premise selection.
+This is because these files have already been manually reviewed and annotated with appropriate
+`@[grind]` attributes.
+
+The date argument (in YYYY-MM-DD format) records when the file was annotated. This is currently
+informational only, but may be used in the future to detect files that have been significantly
+modified since annotation and may need re-review.
+
+Example:
+```
+grind_annotated "2025-01-15"
+```
+
+This command should typically appear near the top of a file, after imports.
