What This Skill Does
Controls Apple Notes on macOS through AppleScript, letting an agent create, read, list, and search notes without opening the app. Accepts plain text or HTML and maps natural language requests to the appropriate Notes.app command.
It drives the native Notes.app directly via osascript, so notes sync through iCloud automatically without any third-party service or extra credentials.
When to use it
- Saving a code snippet or API key format as a quick note
- Creating timestamped meeting summaries in a specific iCloud folder
- Searching past notes to recall what you wrote about a topic
- Listing recent notes to review what was captured last week
- Filing a note into a named work folder by matching account and folder names
