nucleus-apple-notes

Use nucleus-apple notes ... to search, read, update, and attach files to Apple Notes data.

Operating Stance

• Prefer the installed nucleus-apple binary.
• Fall back to uvx --from nucleus-apple-mcp nucleus-apple ... when only uvx is available.
• Narrow search by folder or account when that scope is already known.
• Read the note before destructive rewrites, attachment export, or ambiguous updates.
• Prefer append operations for incremental edits; use destructive set operations only for explicit replacement or format conversion.
• Include shared or recently deleted content only when the task explicitly asks for it.
• Re-read the note after destructive writes or attachment changes when follow-up actions depend on current content.

Core Workflow

1. Resolve account, folder, or note scope only as far as the task requires.
2. Inspect current note state before risky edits or attachment work.
3. Choose create vs append vs destructive set from references/decision-rules.md.
4. Use references/commands.md for canonical command shapes.
5. Use references/failure-modes.md when notes are locked, shared, or still ambiguous after search.

Task Routing

• Search by text, folder, or note ID: read references/decision-rules.md#scope-and-search.
• Choose append vs replace body: read references/decision-rules.md#mutation-choice.
• Export or add attachments: read references/decision-rules.md#attachment-workflow.
• Locked notes, shared notes, expensive plaintext search, or rewrite risk: read references/failure-modes.md.

Output / Escalation

• Use --pretty for human inspection.
• Use --include-body-html only when formatting or embedded attachment anchors matter.
• Use --allow-destructive only alongside --set-plaintext or --set-markdown.
