What this skill does
# Apple Notes Skill This skill enables you to manage Apple Notes on macOS through natural language. Use it whenever the user mentions notes, wants to save information to Notes, or needs to retrieve, update, or organize their notes. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user: - Wants to create a new note or save information - Asks to find, search, or look up notes - Wants to read the contents of a note - Needs to update or edit an existing note - Wants to delete or remove a note - Asks to move or organize notes into folders - Wants to list their notes or folders - Mentions Apple Notes, Notes app, or "my notes" ## Available Tools ### Note Operations | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `create-note` | Create a new note with title and content | | `search-notes` | Find notes by title or content | | `get-note-content` | Read the full content of a note | | `get-note-details` | Get metadata (created, modified, account) | | `update-note` | Modify a note's title or content | | `delete-note` | Remove a note (moves to Recently Deleted) | | `move-note` | Move a note to a different folder | | `list-notes` | List all notes or notes in a folder | ### Folder Operations | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `list-folders` | List all folders in an account | | `create-folder` | Create a new folder | | `delete-folder` | Delete an empty folder | ### Account Operations | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `list-accounts` | List configured accounts (iCloud, Gmail, etc.) | ## Usage Patterns ### Creating Notes When the user wants to save information: ``` User: "Save this meeting summary as a note" Action: Use create-note with appropriate title and the content ``` ``` User: "Create a shopping list note" Action: Use create-note with title="Shopping List" and formatted content ``` ### Finding Notes When the user wants to find notes: ``` User: "Find my notes about the project" Action: Use search-notes with query="project" ``` ``` User: "Search for notes containing budget information" Action: Use search-notes with query="budget" and searchContent=true ``` ### Reading Notes When the user wants to see note contents: ``` User: "Show me my shopping list" Action: Use get-note-content with title="Shopping List" ``` ### Updating Notes When the user wants to modify a note: ``` User: "Add milk to my shopping list" Action: 1. Use get-note-content to read current content 2. Use update-note with the updated content including "milk" ``` ### Organizing Notes When the user wants to organize: ``` User: "Move my old notes to Archive" Action: Use move-note with the note title and folder="Archive" ``` ``` User: "Create a Work folder" Action: Use create-folder with name="Work" ``` ## Important Guidelines 1. **Title Matching**: Note operations require exact title matches. If a note isn't found, suggest using `search-notes` first. 2. **Default Account**: Operations default to iCloud. Use the `account` parameter for other accounts (Gmail, Exchange). 3. **Content Format**: Notes store content as HTML. Plain text works fine for creation, but retrieved content may include HTML tags. 4. **Backslash Escaping**: When content contains backslashes, escape them as `\\` in the JSON. 5. **Password-Protected Notes**: Cannot be accessed via this skill. Inform the user if they try. 6. **macOS Only**: This skill only works on macOS systems. ## Error Handling - **"Note not found"**: Use search-notes to find similar titles - **"Permission denied"**: User needs to grant automation permission in System Preferences - **"Folder not empty"**: Cannot delete folders with notes; move notes first ## Examples ### Save conversation to notes ``` User: "Save our conversation about the API design to my notes" → create-note with title="API Design Discussion" and summarized content ``` ### Daily workflow ``` User: "What's on my todo list?" → search-notes with query="todo" or get-note-content with title="Todo" ``` ### Multi-step organization ``` User: "Archive all my completed project notes" → 1. list-notes to find notes → 2. create-folder name="Archive" if needed → 3. move-note for each relevant note ```

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
