notes-snapshot-control-room

notes-snapshot-control-room is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xiaojiou176-open/notebackup. It costs 85 tokens per session (959 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting Apple Notes Snapshot, a local macOS Apple Notes backup tool, to a coding host.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to acquire and verify notesctl, prepare local state, wire MCP, and troubleshoot host connections.
Why use it?
It separates local backup, optional diagnosis, a same-machine web API, and read-only MCP connections so an attachment is not described as more complete than it is.

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

notes-snapshot-control-room 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 1mo 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 Snapshot Control-Room

Purpose

Help a host, plugin, or collaborator consume Apple Notes Snapshot without rewriting it into a hosted AI platform or a generic assistant product.

What this skill teaches

  • how to acquire notesctl from a public checkout when the host does not already have it
  • how to prove the local control room before touching builder surfaces
  • how to wire notesctl mcp into a host without pretending there is a remote service
  • how to separate AI Diagnose, Local Web API, and MCP into three different lanes
  • how to talk about attach proof honestly

Keep this identity first

  • Apple Notes local-first backup control room for macOS
  • notesctl is the canonical human entrypoint
  • AI Diagnose is an advisory sidecar
  • Local Web API is token-gated and same-machine
  • MCP is stdio-first and read-only-first

First-success flow

  1. Acquire notesctl first using references/INSTALL.md.
  2. Prove the operator lane first:
    • ./notesctl run --no-status
    • ./notesctl install --minutes 30 --load
    • ./notesctl verify
    • ./notesctl doctor
  3. Only after local state exists, attach the builder lane:
    • ./notesctl ai-diagnose
    • ./notesctl web
    • ./notesctl mcp
  4. Keep host proof separate from repo proof.

MCP capability surface

  • post-attach host checks should see get_status, run_doctor, verify_freshness, get_log_health, list_recent_runs, and get_access_policy
  • the repo also documents the notes-snapshot://recent-runs resource as a first read-back surface
  • boundary: local stdio only, read-only-first tools/resources, and no hosted runtime

Preflight before any attach claim

Do not treat host registration as proof by itself.

Verify:

  1. ./notesctl run --no-status
  2. ./notesctl verify
  3. ./notesctl doctor --json
  4. ./notesctl status --json

If those fail, call it a local snapshot preflight problem, not an MCP bug.

Truthful distribution boundary

  • Repo-owned starter packs and local marketplaces are public-ready wiring kits.
  • They are not the same thing as official public directory listing.
  • A tagged v0.1.12 named-host attach-proof trail on one machine does not become a universal proof for every host build or every machine.

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.
