Mac Notes Agent
Overview
This skill lets the agent talk to Apple Notes on macOS using AppleScript (via osascript). It is implemented as a small Node.js CLI:
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js <command> [options]Requires macOS with the built-in Notes app and osascript available.All operations target the default Notes account. Optionally you can specify which folder to use.
Commands
1) Add a new note
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js add \
--title "Meeting notes" \
--body "First line\
Second line\
Third line" \
[--folder "Jarvis"]--title(required): Note title--body(required): Note body text. Use `\
` for line breaks.
--folder(optional): Folder name. If omitted, uses system default folder. If folder doesn't exist, it will be created.
Line breaks (`\
) are converted to <br>` tags internally for proper rendering in Notes.
Result (JSON):
{
"status": "ok",
"id": "Jarvis::2026-02-09T08:40:00::Meeting notes",
"title": "Meeting notes",
"folder": "Jarvis"
}2) List notes
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js list [--folder "Jarvis"] [--limit 50]- Lists notes in the given folder (or all folders if omitted).
- Output is JSON array with
title,folder,creationDate, and syntheticid.
3) Read a note (get)
# By folder + title
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js get \
--folder "Jarvis" \
--title "Meeting notes"
# By synthetic id
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js get --id "Jarvis::2026-02-09T08:40:00::Meeting notes"4) Update a note (replace body)
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js update \
--folder "Jarvis" \
--title "Meeting notes" \
--body "New content\
Replaces everything"- Replaces the entire body of the matching note.
- Can also use
--idfor identification.
5) Append to a note

--folder "Jarvis" \
--title "Meeting notes" \
--body "\
---\
Additional notes here"- Appends new content to the end of the existing note.
6) Delete a note
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js delete \
--folder "Jarvis" \
--title "Meeting notes"7) Search notes
node skills/mac-notes-agent/cli.js search \
--query "keyword" \
[--folder "Jarvis"] \
[--limit 20]- Searches note titles and bodies for the keyword.
Identification Model
Apple Notes doesn't expose stable IDs. This CLI uses:
- Primary key:
(folderName, title) - Synthetic ID:
folderName::creationDate::title
When multiple notes share the same title, the CLI operates on the most recently created one.
Environment
- macOS only: Uses AppleScript via
osascript - No npm dependencies: Uses only Node.js built-ins (
child_process)
