What it does

Apple Notes Multi Env Setup is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Configure Apple Notes automation for multiple accounts and environments. Trigger: "apple notes multi account".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Gmail. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “apple notes multi account”
  • “/apple-notes-multi-env-setup”

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. Resolve the selected environment from an allowlist and fail if it is not explicitly configured.
  2. Verify the expected account and folder exist before a write; do not silently create missing production folders.
  3. Keep development local where possible, and require an explicit operator choice before a job touches a synchronized account.
  4. Log only the environment label and opaque configuration version, never account names, note titles, or bodies.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • osascript

    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
    • github.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 Multi Env Setup loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
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

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.

Apple Notes Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Apple Notes supports multiple accounts simultaneously: iCloud (default), Gmail/Yahoo/AOL via IMAP, Exchange, and the local "On My Mac" account. Each account has isolated folders and notes, making accounts the natural boundary for environment separation. Use this to separate personal vs work notes, production vs development data, or synced vs local-only content. The "On My Mac" account is especially useful for development and testing because it never syncs to iCloud, so experiments stay local.

Prerequisites

  • A written environment map that names the intended account and folder by stable local configuration, not a broad account default.
  • Separate test data for development and staging; iCloud folders alone are not an access-control boundary.
  • An approval path for creating accounts or folders, especially in managed or shared environments.

Instructions

  1. Resolve the selected environment from an allowlist and fail if it is not explicitly configured.
  2. Verify the expected account and folder exist before a write; do not silently create missing production folders.
  3. Keep development local where possible, and require an explicit operator choice before a job touches a synchronized account.
  4. Log only the environment label and opaque configuration version, never account names, note titles, or bodies.

Account Discovery

bash
# List all configured Notes accounts
osascript -l JavaScript -e '
  const Notes = Application("Notes");
  Notes.accounts().map(a =>
    a.name() + " — " + a.notes().length + " notes, " +
    a.folders().map(f => f.name()).join(", ")
  ).join("\n");
'

Environment-Based Configuration

typescript
// src/config/environments.ts
interface NotesEnvConfig {
  accountName: string;
  defaultFolder: string;
  autoSync: boolean;
  description: string;
}

const ENVIRONMENTS: Record<string, NotesEnvConfig> = {
  production: {
    accountName: "iCloud",
    defaultFolder: "Production",
    autoSync: true,
    description: "Live notes synced across all devices via iCloud",
  },
  staging: {
    accountName: "iCloud",
    defaultFolder: "Staging",
    autoSync: true,
    description: "Test notes visible on other devices for QA",
  },
  development: {
    accountName: "On My Mac",
    defaultFolder: "Dev",
    autoSync: false,
    description: "Local-only notes for development and testing",
  },
};

function getEnv(): string {
  return process.env.NOTES_ENV || "development";
}

Account-Scoped Operations

javascript
// JXA wrapper that enforces account isolation
const Notes = Application("Notes");

function getAccount(envName) {
  const config = {
    production: "iCloud",
    staging: "iCloud",
    development: "On My Mac",
  };
  const accountName = config[envName] || config.development;
  const account = Notes.accounts().find(a => a.name() === accountName);
  if (!account) throw new Error(`Account "${accountName}" not found. Enable it in Notes > Settings > Accounts.`);
  return account;
}

function getFolder(account, folderName) {
  let folder = account.folders().find(f => f.name() === folderName);
  if (!folder) {
    // Create folder if it does not exist
    folder = Notes.Folder({ name: folderName });
    account.folders.push(folder);
  }
  return folder;
}

function createNote(envName, folderName, title, body) {
  const account = getAccount(envName);
  const folder = getFolder(account, folderName);
  const note = Notes.Note({ name: title, body: body });
  folder.notes.push(note);
  return note.id();
}

Enable "On My Mac" Account

bash
# "On My Mac" is disabled by default on newer macOS versions
# Enable via Notes preferences:
# Notes > Settings > check "Enable the On My Mac account"

# Verify it is available
osascript -l JavaScript -e '
  const Notes = Application("Notes");
  const local = Notes.accounts().find(a => a.name() === "On My Mac");
  local ? "On My Mac: enabled (" + local.notes().length + " notes)" : "On My Mac: DISABLED";

Error Handling

IssueCauseSolution
"On My Mac" account not foundDisabled in Notes settingsNotes > Settings > enable "On My Mac" account
Gmail account shows no notesIMAP notes not enabledSystem Settings > Internet Accounts > Gmail > enable Notes
Folder creation fails on GmailIMAP accounts have read-only folder structureUse iCloud or "On My Mac" for custom folders
Notes appear in wrong accountdefaultAccount used instead of explicit accountAlways specify account by name; never rely on default
Sync conflict between environmentsSame iCloud account, different foldersUse distinct folder names per environment (Prod/, Staging/)

Output

Environment selection yields the approved environment label, an account/folder existence check, and a read-only scope confirmation. A failed match blocks mutation and produces a redacted diagnostic that the configuration owner can act on.

Examples

For local development, select the configured development environment, confirm the On My Mac test folder exists, and use synthetic notes only. For production, require a separately reviewed configuration that points to the exact approved folder; if it is absent, stop and ask the owner to create or approve it rather than creating it automatically.
