Apple Notes CLI (Skill)

Mandatory tool: Use the shell tool to execute memo commands.

View & Search Notes

• •List ALL notes: memo notes (Use this for "list my notes", "show my notes", etc.)
• •Search notes: echo "your query" | memo notes -s
  • •Use this ONLY if the user provides a specific search term.
  • •NEVER search for "important" or "active" notes unless the user explicitly used those words.
• •View specific note: After listing/searching, use memo notes -v N (where N is the index from the output list).

Create Notes (Non-interactive)

• •Quick add with title: memo notes -a "Note Title"
  • •This is the preferred method. It creates a note with the specified title.
• •Add to specific folder: memo notes -f "Folder Name" -a "Note Title"

Folders

• •List all folders: memo notes -fl

Critical Rules

1. •Prefer Listing: When asked to "list" or "show" notes, ALWAYS start with memo notes.
2. •No Default Filters: Do not attempt to filter or search unless the user specified a term.
3. •Pipes for Search: Always use echo "query" | memo notes -s because the shell tool is non-interactive.
4. •Sequential Operations: To view a note's content, you first need its index from the list.
5. •No Attachments: This tool only supports plain text.
6. •macOS Only: Ensure you are on a macOS environment.
