Apple Notes Enterprise Rbac

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Authorization and RBAC

Example prompts

• “apple notes access control”
• “/apple-notes-enterprise-rbac”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(osascript:*), Grep

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Authenticate and authorize every automation action before invoking JXA, default-deny unknown roles, accounts, folders, and operations.
2. 2Use stable configuration identifiers rather than account or folder names in telemetry; store mappings in a protected configuration service.
3. 3Apply least privilege: separate read, write, delete, and export approvals, and require elevated review for destructive operations.
4. 4Audit authorization decisions and periodically test revocation; TCC consent does not replace application authorization.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(osascript:*)
  • Grep

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript, typescript and bash).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • developer.apple.com
  • support.apple.com

  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

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Apple Notes Enterprise Rbac loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~33

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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.

# Apple Business Manager + MDM profiles can:
# 1. Disable Notes.app entirely on managed devices
# 2. Restrict iCloud Notes sync (force "On My Mac" only)
# 3. Enforce Managed Apple IDs (separate from personal)

# Check if device is MDM-managed
profiles status -type enrollment 2>/dev/null

# Check Notes restrictions via MDM profile
profiles list -verbose 2>/dev/null | grep -A5 "com.apple.notes"

# Managed Apple IDs cannot:
# - Share notes with personal Apple IDs
# - Use third-party account types (Gmail, Yahoo)
# - Access notes outside the organization's domain

// Audit shared notes (macOS Ventura+ with iCloud sharing)
const Notes = Application("Notes");
const allNotes = Notes.defaultAccount.notes();

// Notes shared via iCloud show as shared in the UI
// JXA does not expose sharing metadata directly
// Workaround: check folder names for "Shared" convention
const sharedFolders = Notes.defaultAccount.folders()
  .filter(f => f.name().toLowerCase().includes("shared"));

sharedFolders.forEach(f => {
  console.log(`Shared folder: ${f.name()} — ${f.notes().length} notes`);
});
