What it does

C Contacts is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. macOS Contacts — search, list, and look up contact details via AppleScript.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“Use the c-contacts skill to maco Contacts — search, list, and look up contact details via AppleScript”
“/c-contacts”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- osascript
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

C Contacts loads about 466 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 72 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~466

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.

Access macOS Contacts app via AppleScript. No CLI tool needed.

Commands

bash

# Search for a contact by name
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set results to (every person whose name contains "John")
  set output to ""
  repeat with p in results
    set output to output & name of p & linefeed
    repeat with e in emails of p
      set output to output & "  Email: " & value of e & linefeed
    end repeat
    repeat with ph in phones of p
      set output to output & "  Phone: " & value of ph & linefeed
    end repeat
    set output to output & linefeed
  end repeat
  return output
end tell'

# Get all contact names
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts" to get name of every person'

# Get a specific contact's email
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set p to first person whose name is "John Smith"
  get value of every email of p
end tell'

# Get a specific contact's phone
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set p to first person whose name is "John Smith"
  get value of every phone of p
end tell'

# Count contacts
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts" to count every person'

# Search by email
osascript -e 'tell application "Contacts"
  set results to (every person whose value of emails contains "john@")
  get name of results
end tell'

Guidelines

Always search by partial name (uses contains) to be flexible
Return name, email, and phone by default
If multiple matches, list all and let the user pick
Contacts app does not need to be running — AppleScript handles it
Never store contact details in memory files for privacy
If asked "what's [name]'s number?", search contacts first, then memory
