At a glance

Apple Reminders via rem CLI: add, list, search, update, complete, delete.

  • SKILL.md covers Tool, Start, Add Tasks and Update / Complete / Delete, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls go; reaches github.com

What it does

Reminders is an agent skill from steipete/agent-scripts. Apple Reminders via rem CLI: add, list, search, update, complete, delete.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Scripts for agents, shared between my repositories. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/reminders”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79150cf. 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:

    • go

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 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.

Context cost

Reminders loads about 661 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~661

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 Reminders via rem CLI: add, list, search, update, complete, delete.

Reminders

Use this for Apple Reminders tasks. Prefer rem over Things/AppleScript when the user wants an AI-friendly personal todo backend on macOS.

Tool

  • CLI: rem
  • Repo: https://github.com/BRO3886/rem
  • Install:
bash
GOBIN=/opt/homebrew/bin go install github.com/BRO3886/rem/cmd/rem@latest

rem uses EventKit for normal reads/writes. It may need Reminders permission for the calling app in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Start

Check access:

bash
rem lists -o json
rem today -o json

Use JSON for anything scripted or verified:

bash
rem list --incomplete -o json
rem search "flight" -o json
rem show <id> -o json

Add Tasks

Default: add directly, then verify by search/show.

bash
rem add "Book LHR-SFO nonstop business flight" --due "tomorrow 9am" --priority high --notes "Nonstop only." -o json
rem search "LHR-SFO" -o json

Useful flags:

  • --list "Name": target list
  • --due "tomorrow 9am": due date/time; natural language is supported
  • --priority high|medium|low|none
  • --notes "text"
  • --url https://...
  • --silent: due date without notification
  • --remind-me 15m: alarm before due time
  • --repeat daily|weekly|monthly|yearly

Update / Complete / Delete

Find the UUID first, then mutate by id or unique short id:

bash
rem search "flight" -o json
rem update <id> --name "New title" --due "friday 2pm" --notes "..." -o json
rem complete <id> -o json
rem delete <id> --force

Always read back after writes; do not trust exit status alone.

Lists

bash
rem lists --count -o json
rem list-mgmt create "Travel"
rem list-mgmt rename "Old" "New"
rem list-mgmt delete "Name" --force

Conventions

  • Use executable task titles. Rewrite vague notes into the next concrete action.
  • Preserve user wording when they clearly want verbatim capture.
  • Split multiple unrelated actions into separate reminders.
  • Use the default list unless the user names a list or the category is obvious.
  • Do not add calendar events here; use calendar tooling instead.
  • For current date math, run date; do not guess.

Gotchas

  • macOS only.
  • First run may fail with reminders access denied until the calling app has Reminders permission.
  • The default local list may be localized, e.g. Erinnerungen.
  • rem search is plain query search, not shell regex.
  • --due creates an alarm at the due time unless --silent is passed.
  • Flagged reminders use private ReminderKit under the hood and may be more OS fragile than ordinary CRUD.
