Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-notes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Apple Notes

Use memo to manage Apple Notes directly from the terminal. Notes sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

Prerequisites

  • macOS with Notes.app
  • Install: brew tap antoniorodr/memo && brew install antoniorodr/memo/memo
  • Grant Automation access to Notes.app when prompted (System Settings → Privacy → Automation)

When to Use

  • User asks to create, view, or search Apple Notes
  • Saving information to Notes.app for cross-device access
  • Organizing notes into folders
  • Exporting notes to Markdown/HTML

When NOT to Use

  • Obsidian vault management → use the obsidian skill
  • Bear Notes → separate app (not supported here)
  • Quick agent-only notes → use the memory tool instead

Quick Reference

View Notes

memo notes                        # List all notes
memo notes -f "Folder Name"       # Filter by folder
memo notes -s "query"             # Search notes (fuzzy)

Create Notes

memo notes -a                     # Add a note (opens your $EDITOR)
memo notes -a -f "Folder Name"    # Add a note into a specific folder

-a/--add is a bare flag — it opens your $EDITOR to compose the note; it does not take a title argument. Use -f/--folder to target a folder. Set $EDITOR first (e.g. export EDITOR=vim).

Edit Notes

memo notes -e                     # Interactive selection to edit

Delete Notes

memo notes -d                     # Interactive selection to delete

Move Notes

memo notes -m                     # Move note to folder (interactive)

Export Notes

memo notes -ex                    # Export to HTML/Markdown

Limitations

  • Cannot edit notes containing images or attachments
  • Interactive prompts require terminal access (use pty=true if needed)
  • macOS only — requires Apple Notes.app

Rules

  1. Prefer Apple Notes when user wants cross-device sync (iPhone/iPad/Mac)
  2. Use the memory tool for agent-internal notes that don't need to sync
  3. Use the obsidian skill for Markdown-native knowledge management

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
