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

macos-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/notes.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

macOS Notes

Manage Apple Notes via $SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh. Notes content is stored as HTML internally; the script accepts plain text or HTML body and returns plaintext when reading.

Quick start

List folders

Always list folders first to discover accounts and folder names:

"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh" list-folders

Output format: account → folder (one per line).

Create a note

echo '<json>' | "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh" create-note

JSON fields:

Field Required Default Description
title yes - Note title (becomes the first line / heading)
body no "" Note content (plain text — converted to HTML automatically)
html no "" Raw HTML body (overrides body if both provided)
folder no default folder Folder name (from list-folders)
account no default account Account name (from list-folders)

Read a note

echo '<json>' | "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh" read-note

JSON fields:

Field Required Default Description
name yes - Note title (exact match)
folder no all folders Folder to search in
account no default account Account to search in

List notes

echo '<json>' | "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh" list-notes

JSON fields:

Field Required Default Description
folder no default folder Folder name
account no default account Account name
limit no 20 Max notes to return

Search notes

echo '<json>' | "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/notes.sh" search-notes

JSON fields:

Field Required Default Description
query yes - Text to search for in note titles
account no default account Account to search in
limit no 10 Max results to return

Interpreting natural language

Map user requests to commands:

User says Command Key fields
"Note this down: ..." create-note title, body
"Save meeting notes" create-note title: "Meeting notes — <date>", body
"What did I write about X?" search-notes query: "X"
"Show my notes" list-notes (defaults)
"Read my note about X" read-note name: "X"
"Save this in my work notes" create-note Match closest account/folder from list-folders

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
