What is notes-inventory?

A read-only inventory of every macOS Notes account, folder, nested subfolder, and note count. macOS Notes is Apple's note-taking app, and the inventory represents its sidebar as structured data.

Use it to list the Notes tree for iCloud, Google, Exchange, and other accounts, count notes in each folder, or obtain the results as JSON for further processing.

It provides a complete view of where notes exist before you organize, export, or audit them. It distinguishes folders with the same name by their full paths and reports Recently Deleted separately.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00092	$0.00593
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.00296
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00119
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00059

Security

Grade A, and why

notes-inventory 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Self-Evolving skill — if macOS Notes' AppleScript behavior drifts from what's below (folder flattening, trash visibility, counts), fix this SKILL.md and the shared engine scripts/lib/notes-core.ts / scripts/notes.ts (+ a test in notes-core.test.ts); see the Post-Execution Reflection at the bottom.

Read-only survey of the whole Notes tree, across ALL accounts (iCloud, Google, Exchange…).

NC="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/notes-commander/scripts/notes.ts"
bun "$NC" inventory            # human tree: account → folders (indented) with counts
bun "$NC" inventory --json     # [{account, path, count}, …] for analysis

Nested folders appear as paths with / separators (e.g. To-Do / Done) — folder names are not unique (two "Done" folders is normal), paths are.
Counts are direct notes per folder (subfolder notes count under the subfolder), matching the Notes sidebar.
Recently Deleted IS visible to AppleScript (verified live 2026-07-18) — inventory shows it but reports its notes separately from the live total; export skips it entirely.
First run may prompt once for Automation permission to control Notes; one AppleScript pass, so it's fast even on hundreds of notes.
If it fails with -600/"not running" repeatedly, open Notes once, then retry (the engine already retries transient errors).

This is the data source the notes-audit skill analyzes and the notes-organize skill acts on.

Post-Execution Reflection

After an inventory run, check: (1) did the tree match the Notes sidebar (folders, nesting, counts)? If not, the flattened-folders of account filter or trash handling drifted — fix OSA_INVENTORY in scripts/notes.ts and document the macOS change here. (2) Did a transient -600/-1712 require a manual retry? If the built-in retry didn't absorb it, tune runOsa in notes-core.ts. Only update for real, reproducible drift — not speculation.

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.
