What it does

Apple Notes is an agent skill from DrugClaw/DrugClaw. Manage Apple Notes on macOS using the memo CLI. Use this when users ask to create, list, search, edit, move, or export Apple Notes.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: {"os":["darwin"],"deps":["memo"]}

It sits in Research & Science. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: 💊 AI Research Assistant for Accelerated Drug Discovery. 🦞.

When your agent uses it

  • S ask to create
  • Export Apple Notes

Example prompts

  • “/apple-notes”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): {"os":["darwin"],"deps":["memo"]}

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 960a6e0. 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:

    • brew

    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.

  • Compatibility

    {"os":["darwin"],"deps":["memo"]}

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Apple Notes loads about 335 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~335

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 92 words (~335 tokens).
