What This Skill Does
Connects to Inkdrop's local HTTP server API to read, create, update, search, and delete notes, notebooks, and tags. Requires the Inkdrop desktop app running with its local HTTP server enabled.
Direct API access lets agents read and write notes without manual copy-paste, keeping project context in one place.
When to use it
- Saving meeting notes directly into Inkdrop from a conversation
- Searching existing notes for a project reference
- Creating a tagged backlog of tasks in a specific notebook
- Updating a note's status as work progresses
- Pulling recent changes to sync or review note history
