Manage Apple Notes via the memo CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes).

  • A user asks CoWork-OSS to add a note
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Routing, Trigger Examples and Runtime Prompt
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Manage note folders

What it does

Apple Notes is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Manage Apple Notes via the memo CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks CoWork-OSS to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks CoWork-OSS to add a note
  • Manage note folders

Example prompts

  • “/apple-notes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3691bae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Apple Notes loads about 538 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~538

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
