Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00085 | $0.00959 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00096 |
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 9d 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
notesctlfrom 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 mcpinto 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
notesctlis the canonical human entrypointAI Diagnoseis an advisory sidecarLocal Web APIis token-gated and same-machineMCPis stdio-first and read-only-first
First-success flow
- Acquire
notesctlfirst usingreferences/INSTALL.md. - Prove the operator lane first:
./notesctl run --no-status./notesctl install --minutes 30 --load./notesctl verify./notesctl doctor
- Only after local state exists, attach the builder lane:
./notesctl ai-diagnose./notesctl web./notesctl mcp
- 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, andget_access_policy - the repo also documents the
notes-snapshot://recent-runsresource 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:
./notesctl run --no-status./notesctl verify./notesctl doctor --json./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
v0.1.12named-host attach-proof trail on one machine does not become a universal proof for every host build or every machine.
What ships with it
9 files 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.
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.

notes-snapshot-control-room is a skill published in the GitHub repository xiaojiou176-open/notebackup (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 959 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
